Nextiva

THROW BACK THURSDAY. Playing Never have I ever at Nextiva ……and pickle juice shots

There are some special men and women that have made a positive impact on me and my career - I just want to pay it forward...big or small...I just want to make a positive impact. A special shout out to all of Nextiva 's Women of the Channel Ali May Kuebelbeck , Caitlyn Franklin , Marissa Pryfogle , Alexus Harris , Laura Cope that demonstrate excellence and class every single day. 💯 You ALL amaze me. 🤩 Special Thanks to The Channel Company for annually recognizing Women in the Channel. Lastly, I love that I get to share this with the one and only Andrea White, M.A. Our Nextiva journey with Cathryn Valladares has been anything but boring and I wouldn't have it any other way. 💙 💛

Cool little behind-the-scenes moment from yesterday at Nextiva 🎙️ 👐 Love to hear the impact our team is making directly from customers themselves! Stay tuned!

Always rewarding to hear directly from customers about the real impact our team is making at Nextiva ! Such a cool experience stepping in front of the camera yesterday with the marketing team to film some content. Huge shoutout to Alexandra Dika for the opportunity!

I am searching for the best front-line manager in Phoenix/Scottsdale to run Nextiva's BDR org with me in-office! We're scaling outbound behind XBert, our AI Receptionist Agent, easily the hottest and most exciting product I've sold in my career. We're also building our own SDR/BDR agents in-house for reporting, personalization, and assisting XDRs with outbound. That work is just getting started, and the right manager gets to shape it with me. Since I joined Nextiva, we've built a real flywheel: ~10 XDRs promoted to AE in the last 10 months, a 75% promotion rate for anyone who joins the team. Those former XDRs are now our top-producing AEs. I'm looking for a leader who believes in developing XDRs into the next generation of AE talent. Who I'm looking for: - A top-performing SDR/BDR who's led a team for 1+ year - Passionate about outbound and developing reps who can turn a no into a yes - Player-coach, once a top SDR/BDR, now teaching the next generation how you did it - Obsessed with what's possible in AI right now - Builds a culture that's exciting, fun, and people want to be a part of 5 days a week, in-office, in Scottsdale. Moving fast on this one. If this sounds like you, apply or DM me. https://lnkd.in/ghntVCRy

My career did not go as planned. It turned into something much bigger than I expected. 11 years ago, when my daughter was born, everything changed. I couldn’t fathom leaving her side. Those precious eyes. That perfect smile. At that point, my experience was all over the place, but I had put real time into each role. I spent about 7 years as a secretary, sometimes even dressing up as a clown for events. Around 5 years as a CNA. I waitressed, bartended, managed a gas station, I worked retail in a mall, and I spent 10 years cooking. Not exactly a clear path into tech. I almost went into transcription. Really glad I didn’t. 😅 Instead, I started learning to code on Codecademy. It clicked. I kept going. I went back to school online. There were many long nights. Bella would often stand, leaning against my back as I did homework in the mornings before work. She kept me going. It didn’t take long to realize that breaking into a technical role wouldn’t be easy. I started at Nextiva in tech support, kept going in school, stepped into remote work, and eventually worked my way into product management. That’s where things really started to come together. 💛💙 I made some incredibly smart, like-minded friends along the way. I was also lucky to have leaders and mentors who took the time to guide me, challenge me, and open doors I didn’t even know existed. ❤️ I leaned into everything I had done before. Communicating with people, staying calm under pressure, learning quickly, figuring things out without a clear path. I read as much as I could. I asked questions. I got involved anywhere I was allowed to. That led me into cybersecurity. And now into AI, automation, and building at a much larger scale than I ever imagined. Today I’m in a leadership role, working with an incredibly smart, fast-moving team and continuing to learn every day. Tech is evolving fast. There is always something new to chase. But the biggest thing I’ve learned is this: Your path does not need to make sense to anyone else. What matters is how you use it. Every role I had mattered. I just could not see it at the time.
