Hola! No need to introduce myself as I’m sure you’ve seen my name boldly and clearly. But incase you didn't my name is Felicia Pinedo, I'm 33 years old, located in California. This is a bit about me, you can decide what’s relevant and what isn’t. Let's start off with I started working at the age16 in the auto industry, for the first year I was responsible for taking pictures of vehicles and putting them up on our website. 

​

By the age of 17 I had graduated high school 6 months early and had significantly more free time due to having been homeschooled, this led to me starting sales for the next two years. I wasn’t taught frame work I just used my natural ability to talk to people. By the time I was 19 I moved up to finance in the auto industry. I spent the next 10 years in finance with my last 2 years in a management position role while still overseeing finance.

 

I had mastered the entire business model, from working closely with the owner, to helping run the entire operation. By the time I was 29, I wanted to learn something new & I switched to the lending side of the auto industry, still the same industry but now my job was to build relationships with dealers in order to increase our loans financed every month. I did this for a year until I had my first child.

 

I decided to not work for about a year after that allowing me to be with my child and be fully present and attentive to his needs. After my child was one I became pregnant again, but had already decided I needed to go back to work. I had no intentions of being away from my children for long periods of time so I was determined to find remote work that would allow me to stay home but also have an income, living in Southern California in a nice home with two cars was getting difficult solely with my husbands income.

 

Throughout my years in the auto industry I built many friendships, so I decided to reach out to some of my strongest relationships and see if they knew of any opportunities that fit my needs.  It didn’t take long for one of my old supervisors whom I had been good friends with since I was 16, to let me know he had an opportunity at his company working as a bail bond agent in sales that allowed me to work from home.

 

I took the opportunity and learned a completely new side of sales that I had never learned before, COLD CALLING SALES. I mastered the art of being trustworthy without some physically seeing me, handling objections, and collecting large sums of money over the phone. I’ve collected over $700,000 in 1.5 years I’ve been there from cold calling.

 

As I transition into high ticket sales I look forward to adding new skills to my sales tool box, increasing company revenue, and building long term relationships with business owners and clients. Opportunities always comes from the people you built strong relationships with, cause remember it’s not just what you know it’s who you know!
