Senior Account Manager at Birdeye | Eagle Club 🦅 | Top Performer & Quota Crusher 🏆 | Driving Revenue Growth & Expansion

Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India

About

I’m a sales professional with a proven track record of driving revenue growth across SMB, Commercial, and Enterprise segments in NA, EMEA, and APAC regions. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve consistently exceeded sales targets by 120%+, earning accolades like the Eagle Club for hitting annual quota in just nine months. I specialize in consultative selling, account-based strategies, and cross-functional collaboration, and have successfully closed high-value deals while managing portfolios of 100+ accounts with a churn rate below 2%. At Birdeye, I achieved the highest attainment rate in the company in the year 2024 by consistently exceeding 120% of sales targets for 11 consecutive months, significantly boosting the company’s market position. During my time at RepUp, I managed top-tier accounts like Tanishq, Singapore Flyer, SM Group (Philippines), LIPPO Group (Indonesia) and Moxy by Marriott (US), driving an 18-20% revenue increase by generating enterprise-level leads and presenting to C-level executives in high-stakes, in-person meetings. Earlier, at Blue Water Trade Winds, I built trust with key clients like Oldendorff (Germany), Shell (UK), and Chevron (US), closing over $323,000 in new and recurring business. What sets me apart is my versatility. Beyond sales, I’ve worn multiple hats—content writing, project management, and customer success—giving me a deep understanding of cross-functional teams and improving my ability to deliver results. I thrive in the dynamic world of sales, where no two days are the same. I love the challenge of solving new problems, working on diverse projects, and building meaningful relationships with people from different industries and cultures. When I’m not closing deals, you’ll find me exploring new places, hiking mountains, camping under the stars, or watching sports. I’m passionate about personal growth, embracing new experiences, and finding inspiration in the world around me. Let’s connect and explore how I can contribute to your organization’s growth!
