Due to my background in accounting, I was hired to teach accounting to Hotel and Restaurant majors at the University of New Haven. As a result of my expertise, I was then hired as a trainer for Open Systems, an ERP solution by The Connecticut Computer Group. |

To my surprise, I found myself entering unfamiliar territory. I had never received training on DOS, as I had been immersed in the world of Windows since 1991. Consequently, I faced initial struggles, and the learning curve appeared daunting. However, amidst the challenges, one remarkable ability stood out—I had a natural talent for generating sales orders whenever I returned from a client's location. It seemed that I possessed an inherent knack for technology sales evangelism. |

While I faced difficulties as a trainer, my gift for promoting and advocating technological solutions shone through. Each interaction with clients became an opportunity for me to showcase the value of the accounting software and persuade them to place a sales order. This unexpected success in sales served as a glimmer of hope during a challenging period. |

| The journey I embarked upon during this time taught me resilience and the ability to discover alternative paths to success. Although my initial aspirations did not unfold as planned, I uncovered a hidden talent and passion for technology sales. This realization opened new possibilities and avenues for growth in my career, leading to unforeseen opportunities. |

| During this period, I came across a Sales Automation Tool called TeleMagic, which proved to be a pivotal turning point in my professional journey. With the introduction of this innovative technology, my role and title underwent a transformation, and I was promoted to the esteemed position of Director of Sales and Emerging Technologies, specifically in Sales Force Automation. This promotion provided me with an invaluable opportunity to build a business from the ground up within an existing organization. For an incredible five years, I thrived in this role, honing my skills and gaining invaluable experience. | |||
