Sheri Voss
Founder and Consultant
QuartzConnect
QuartzConnect provides sales-as-a-service consulting for small and medium-sized businesses seeking to generate more revenue. We also provide fractional sales leadership services. We’re connectors, advocates, creators, and passionate sales executives who want to help you grow. I help others by sharing my obvious knowledge and best practices with others so they can be better at their roles and grow their business! Before this role, I have been in technical sales roles supporting STEM industries for 32 years!
I love connecting people and helping serve the needs of others. In my consulting role I get the opportunity to work with all different kinds of companies and people!
Every day is different, which I love! The majority of my day is spent with clients - helping them plan and set goals, providing them with guidance on how to achieve the goals in place, as well as living their mission and vision. I am on phone calls, zoom calls, teams calls a lot. I also get days to work independently on task oriented activities. Having a methodical, efficient manner and outlook help me stay on top of all of the different milestones I have each day.
I loved my Computer Science classes and excelled in my Communications and Marketing courses in college. When I chose the path of technical sales, it gave me the unique opportunity to use both set of skills. I started at AT&T for 10 years. I then moved to XO Communications for 15 years. Then I landed at SANS Institute selling cybersecurity training and certifications to large corporations like Cisco, IBM, T-Mobile, and Verizon to name a few. Moving to this new role of consulting has been exciting and has helped me to grow even more in my personal and professional lives.
I want to try new things, like writing a book and public speaking. I am starting by writing more on my LinkedIn page and I’m working on a blog. I want to see my adult children be happy and watch them succeed in their own lives -personally and professionally.
I love spending time at the beach with my husband and family and having flexibility in my schedule allows me to do that more often. I golf and have learned to love Pilates and meditation techniques to help me become more mindful!
