“Before sales, I worked in marketing at various startups and agencies, and through those experiences, I learned a lot about the common pain points businesses face and how to solve them. When I discovered consultative selling, I realized that selling the right product to the right person at the right time can be incredibly helpful. And I really enjoy helping people! So, while I’m very much a sales leader, I like to think of myself as more of a problem solver and a helping hand.” Say hello to Saied, Regional Director on our Enterprise Sales team 👋 After joining Yelp in 2019 as an individual contributor, Saied transitioned into a leadership role two years later, and he now supports a team focused on strategic success for national brands.
