Dara Aka

I am a results-oriented and proactive sales development professional with over three years of experience driving revenue growth through strategic prospecting, multi-channel outreach, and intelligent lead management. My goal is to leverage my unique skill set to help ambitious companies build robust sales pipelines and exceed their growth targets in a remote setting.

My experience is a blend of high-volume outbound execution and data-driven process optimization. I have a proven track record of executing over 1,200 outreach attempts per month, consistently generating over 150 warm leads for sales teams. I am adept at managing both inbound and outbound leads, having maintained a 4-minute response time for inbound inquiries to increase bookings by 12% while also designing outbound email sequences with an 8% reply rate. My experience is versatile, spanning both B2B roles for SaaS companies and B2C campaigns for consumer products like skincare. I don't just focus on quantity; I improved lead quality in a previous role by partnering with senior BDRs, which reduced the unqualified lead rate by 22%.

What makes my approach unique is my academic background in Economics combined with a deep interest in Behavioral Psychology. This allows me to understand both the hard business case for a product and the human motivations behind a purchase decision. It enables me to conduct more effective discovery, handle objections with empathy, and build genuine rapport with prospects from the C-suite to individual consumers.

I am a fast learner with a bias for execution who is highly proficient with a modern sales tech stack, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo.io, and Outreach.io. I am seeking a challenging full-time remote role where I can be a valuable contributor, bring fresh ideas, and grow with a forward-thinking company.
