In spite of starting her sales career in accounting, failing IBM’s entry level sales exam and being told she couldn’t sell without an engineering background, Kendra Lee entered sales and proved those nay-sayers wrong.
She turned her knowledge of numbers into a lead generation approach that propelled her to the top 1% of sales professionals in each IT company she sold for. She founded KLA Group, a sales and marketing agency, to consult, train and “Do it For You” so others could beat the odds and get more customers. She is the author of the books The Sales Magnet and Selling Against the Goal.
