Transition vendor sales teams from transactional pitching to high-impact consultative selling. Provide coaching on advanced sales techniques, objection handling, pitch structure, and the Google Ads product suite to maximize customer ROI.

Lead critical weekly/monthly business reviews with senior vendor sales executives and effectively coach partners to consistently exceed quota.

Translate quantitative data, campaign performance, and market trends into actionable growth pipelines and scalable go-to-market strategies for the region.
