As time progressed, the landscape of technology evolved, and new software leaders emerged, presenting me with a fresh challenge. I began losing sales to competing software solutions known as GoldMine and ACT!. Recognizing the need for change and growth, I initiated a discussion with the president of the company I worked for. Unfortunately, he was unwilling to embrace a different software solution. It was at this moment that I realized it was time to embrace my true calling and embark on the path of entrepreneurship. |
|||
Fueled by an unyielding desire to fulfill my destiny, I made the courageous decision to start my own company. This pivotal moment marked a significant transition in my professional journey as I ventured into entrepreneurship armed with my extensive knowledge and expertise in sales and Customer Relationship Management. Establishing my own company, SagaSolutions.com, provided me with the opportunity to shape my own destiny, create a business model aligned with my vision, and leverage my skills to cater to the evolving needs of the market. |
|||
This leap into entrepreneurship not only symbolized a bold step towards realizing my true potential but also showcased my unwavering determination and resilience. It was a defining moment that propelled me into a new phase of my professional life, where I could chart my own course and make a lasting impact in the industry. |
|||
I began my entrepreneurial endeavor modestly, setting up shop in my own garage. However, as the demand for my services skyrocketed, I quickly outgrew that space. Determined to accommodate the expanding needs of my company, I took the leap and rented a suite of offices in Shelton, CT. From being a one-person operation, I gradually expanded my team, transforming from just "Me" to "Me + 12." |
|||
Between 2001 and 2007, my company experienced remarkable growth, earning recognition as one of the top five GoldMine resellers for seven consecutive years. This consistent achievement was a testament to our unwavering commitment and expertise in the field. In 2006, our dedication and innovative solutions were further acknowledged when we received The Business Solution Architect Award for one of our exceptional offerings. |

We catered to diverse industries, specializing in serving hi-tech firms, consumer product companies, and various sectors within the financial domain.

In the financial sector, we established strong partnerships with wealth management firms, including the likes of Merrill Lynch. Our emphasis on serving reputable organizations across multiple industries not only reinforced our expertise but also solidified our reputation as a trusted and reliable provider. |

Together, we forged meaningful partnerships, delivering exceptional solutions and services to our esteemed clients. It was a period of tremendous growth and accomplishment, paving the way for future successes and establishing a solid foundation for the company's continued expansion. |
|||
In an extraordinary feat of adaptability and growth, my company progressed from generating zero sales to achieving an impressive $3 million in revenue over the span of eight years. As technology continued to evolve, the industry underwent a shift, transitioning from Sales Force Automation to the realm of Client Relationship Management (CRM). |
|||
In 2003, Microsoft recognized the potential of SagaSolutions.com LLC and approached us to address the challenges posed by their Microsoft CRM platform. Embracing the opportunity, we accepted their invitation and swiftly established ourselves as a Gold Managed partner of Microsoft within a year. This partnership propelled us to the forefront of the industry, solidifying our expertise in CRM solutions and positioning us as a trusted partner for both Microsoft and our clients. |
|||
As our success continued to soar, the demands on our technological infrastructure increased significantly. Recognizing the need for change and desiring to shift my focus, I made the strategic decision to sell my company to a larger regional firm. This transition allowed me to redirect my attention toward specializing in Client Relationship Management and honing my expertise in CRM solutions. |
|||
By divesting myself of the operational responsibilities associated with owning a company, I gained the freedom to concentrate fully on providing exceptional CRM solutions and delivering unparalleled value to our clients. This strategic shift enabled me to explore new avenues of growth, enhance my skills, and better serve the evolving needs of the industry. |
|||
This transformative decision marked yet another significant chapter in my professional journey, highlighting my adaptability and unwavering commitment to remaining at the forefront of the industry. Through aligning myself with a larger regional firm, I gained access to the necessary resources and support to further expand my expertise in Client Relationship Management, solidifying my position as a trusted leader in CRM solutions. |
