Kyle’s journey into sales began during a ticket sales internship in college, where he was exposed to the world of sales and marketing. Growing up playing sports instilled in him a competitive spirit and a drive for achievement, which naturally aligned with the sales environment. Seeking further growth opportunities, he joined a sales empowerment group on LinkedIn, which eventually led him to the SDR role. Through Vendition, he was introduced to Solutions by Text.
Over the course of the three month apprenticeship at Solutions by Text, his experience evolved significantly. Meeting with his Vendition mentor was particularly beneficial as he provided personalized guidance and support. One key thing his mentor really helped him learn was prospecting. “I was starting to see results when my mentor and I would connect. He helped me personalize my emails and then my cold call scripts, making sure I’m asking the right questions based on our persona”. By understanding the needs of prospects on a deeper level, he was able to tailor his approach and see tangible results in his outreach efforts.
One of the most rewarding aspects of his journey has been achieving milestones such as being named Employee of the Month and exceeding his quota by tripling the number of meetings booked in April. These achievements were made possible by the collaborative efforts of his team and my own dedication to putting in the work. “Huge shout out to the team, everyone’s been willing to help me and roll up their sleeves and get to work. The information they provided was very helpful to be successful in this role”.

Looking ahead, Kyle is excited about the continued growth opportunities in his sales career. He plans to further refine his skills, leverage the support of his mentors and colleagues, and continue exceeding expectations in his role. With a strong foundation and a passion for success, Kyle is ready to achieve even greater heights in the world of sales.
