Meet Laura, a Sales Manager with a unique starting point!
With a background in art and business, Laura hasn’t followed the most conventional route into SaaS.
“My background is mainly from a very different kind of sales. Before joining Zefort, I was in the auction business for over 15 years,” she shares.
However, curiosity and a passion for learning led her to explore new frontiers. A fortunate encounter introduced her to Zefort, and the connection was immediate.
“The warm but professional first impression stood out,” she says.
Laura had been looking for a chance to step out of her comfort zone and learn new things. In addition, her passion for technology and shared values made it easy to decide to join Zefort.
Independence with a team spirit
Laura describes sales at Zefort as curious, optimistic, and people-focused.
“The collaboration with the team is really at the very core of being able to succeed,” she explains.
While valuing independence, she credits Zefort’s open and agile communication culture, as well as the support of her experienced colleagues, as essential ingredients for success.
Laura emphasizes that empathy, persistence, and a positive, problem-solving mindset are critical in sales. Resilience is always essential, especially during challenging conversations.
“Ultimately, sales is about successful cooperation, people understanding and respecting each other,” Laura concludes.
Overcoming challenges, seeing results
The road isn’t always easy. Rejection comes with the territory, but Laura has learned to remain unfazed and focus on the value of open communication – regardless of the outcome.
“The best part of working in sales is earning trust, even when it doesn’t lead to a commercial result. There’s a clear cause-and-effect relationship between persistent, honest work and the results, and I really appreciate that,” Laura says.
Growing with purpose
Today, Laura thrives in Zefort’s fast-growing, high-trust environment.
“Being able to contribute to the growth of a company I value and believe in gives a special feeling of purpose.”
For those just starting in sales, Laura offers this advice:
“Build your resilience, be patient, and work hard. Honesty saves everyone precious time.”
In a role where persistence pays off and values guide the way, Laura’s story is proof that bold career shifts, when met with the right mindset and environment, can lead to great success.
