My name is Dara, I grew up on the Jersey Shore and I have over two decades of proven success in helping small businesses identify what their needs are, by scheduling an hour-long "Needs Analysis Assessment"
I charge small business prices, sometimes the problem can be fixed so easily I'm hardly needed.
As an Independent Sales Consultant, I am a professional who is in charge of devising strategies for promoting and selling products or services. They serve as an intermediary between companies and their customers, recommending products and services while ensuring customer requirements are met. Typically, they set and meet goals for their sales team. If there is no sales team in place, I can also create a sales pitch, KPI's, rebuttals, and a customized training program that will be designed to help all different personality types and learning curves. In a world full of AI and online chat customer service "robots", people still prefer to deal with REAL people.

I know what brings a crowd around and it’s not about the cost, it’s about throwing people off and being a situation worth posting about. Beyond events, social media event, and marketing,
I am the best of both worlds, I can implement creative and uniquely branded marketing strategies and plan successful events and still retain all the regular clients that are so greatly appreciated (always).
I also have a decade of experience in building sales CRM’s, developing and perfecting the sales process, recruiting talent or motivating the current talent. I help identify the issues that are both internal and external as to why a team of individuals or perhaps just a few individuals aren’t performing at the rate an employer expects.
I develop easy-to-understand and learn sales pitches, and rebuttals to commonly asked questions.
I develop training workshops that identify the same obstacles faced in the field.
I physically go out into the field myself and I see the doors, I meet the DM’s and I hear with my own ears what their questions and concerns are. It’s only then that I can help a company to develop KPIs or benchmarks so that there is a well-established understanding of what can be achieved.
I am skilled in reading a room, identifying who the decision maker is, and identifying whether or not a lead is a warm lead or a dead lead.
I’m skilled in reading emotional responses and understanding which objections are emotional and which objections aren’t.
I can train a sales team from the ground up, or I can come into a situation and troubleshoot a solution and offer my advice and suggestions to help sales reps to better serve the client.
I also always suggest what I believe is necessary for a business owner's success. I am not a huge consulting firm that is going to pitch every service that I can offer, just because I can. That is why I rely heavily on my needs assessment survey.
I prefer to do less talking and more listening when I am engaged with a client during the Needs Assessment Process.
Maybe a company will only need my services once and a while, or for one event or one job specifically. I am at my clients' service, no matter how small or big my role may be in a project.
After an incredibly successful, long stint in the pharmaceutical industry, I am looking to go back into a more personal space, independent consulting for small business owners.
