“Sara is a star - she has a deep understanding of the sales process all the way from cold outreach to close and has helped to grow the programs under her wing both selling and closing high-value customers, while also developing the right reporting and scaling methodologies at a product/program level. Her experience in product management and marketing has helped her to modernize the sales and communication process - a unique combination of skills. She is a passionate advocate for companies and causes; she cares deeply about inclusion and is a kind and empathetic manager and peer to those she works with.” - Aassia Haq, Growth Marketing & Brand Advisor to C Suite Executives
“My consulting business wouldn't be half as successful as it is without Sara's guidance and expertise. She takes the time to get to know her clients and what they need, giving them honest feedback at every step along the way. Sara was integral in the planning stages and the hard launch of my company: no question was too elementary, no concern was too trivial. She took the time to talk me through my concerns and coach me through the challenges of standing up and running a business. Sara has been a confidante and business advisor in the background, and I count her as a trusted member of my personal "board of directors." She excels at connecting and relating to people, sells without selling, and makes it all look effortless - even though she is an extremely hard worker. Behind the scenes, she's mentored a number of early to mid career professionals and invested in the success of her colleagues. If I had a sales organization, I would hire Sara in a hot minute because I've seen first-hand the care and value she brings to every engagement.” - Jennifer Lemmert, Communications & PR Consultant
“Where do I start? Sara Conde infuses positivity and energy into all that she does. Her initiative, dedication, and service to her clients are unparalleled. She also has strong and diverse skills in sales, consulting, management, planning, and communications. I can always depend on her to provide a unique perspective and constructive advice. She's a true servant leader and an asset to any team that's fortunate to have her.” - Tasha Jones, MBA, PMP
“After 30+ years of consulting and 21 years of running my own firm, Sara Conde introduced me to MBO Advantage, and I feel like, ever since then, the ability to partner with consulting firms similar to my own firm has become a real possibility. This is something that I had wanted to do since the time that I started my firm, but Sarah somehow made it seem possible. This is the essence of Sara: she is visionary and inspirational, and yet she has the ability to be very tactical. If I could go back to the year 2000 when I started Blue Globe, I wish I had hired a Sara, but the truth is, I didn’t know Sara then, and she would have been very tough to find. Sara is one of a kind.” - Peter Walzer, Principal, Blue Globe Consulting, Inc.
“Sara and I worked together for many years, and for an all-too-short time, she worked for me. Really, there are not enough adjectives to describe Sara, but I’ll try: charismatic, passionate, persuasive, affable, energetic, caring, decisive, smart, and funny. I am sure I am missing a few, but you get the idea. Sara has perfected the art of one-on-one communications. She is one of those people that makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world while in conversation with her. We would all be lucky to be as engaging as Sara on her worst day. She is equally skilled at sales, team management, thought leadership, product development, and program support. Spend some time with Sara. Those will be the best moments of your day.” - Dave Putt, SVP, Sales and Market Strategies, Elevate SaaS, Inc.
“Sara Conde has that rare combination of having talent and being a kind and considerate person. She is a consummate professional that will go out of her way for you. She takes the time to get to know you so she can quickly gain an understanding of where she can add value. It is truly refreshing to know that that there are still people in the business world that have a full understanding of how to be great at what they do while taking the time to listen and to treat people with respect. She applies these principles on a daily basis. I highly recommend seeing how you can get an opportunity to work with Sara.” - Kenneth Schlechter, Cheif of Staff, Morgan Stanely
“Sara developed and sold the premier Advantage offering at MBO Partners, a program designed to support high-end independent professionals serving the enterprise market. There are few I have encountered in my career who rival her passion and commitment. Her clients are immediately energized by her enthusiasm and willingness to help enable their success. Her authentic approach to serving others makes her an invaluable asset to any organization looking to build a brand and grow their business.” - Tim Clarke, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Advanced Solutions International, Inc.
“Wherever Sara is, she stands out as one of the brightest and best in the room. Charismatic, quick, and razor-sharp, Sara is not the type of employee to sit in the corner of a meeting and watch. She is the type of active decision-maker that every company must have. I'm not sure there's anything she can't do.” - Adam Kauder, Content Strategy Director at Fantasy
“I've had the good fortune to develop a working relationship with Sara. She assisted and coached me in many aspects of launching my consulting business. In addition to being an amazing coach and mentor, Sara is a joy to work with. Each interaction with Sara is not only professional but fun. She is reliable, consistent, and responsive. Her deep knowledge covers not only the many aspects of Independent contracting but extends into the setup of corporations, tax matters, and beyond. If you have the opportunity to work with Sara, do it! You'll come out a more productive person.” - Jerry M. Ashford, SVP & GM at 21Vianet Blue Cloud
“I met Sara shortly after I transitioned to being an independent contractor. It was a huge transition for me to leave traditional employment and venture out on my own after 13 years in defense contracting. Sara was with me and willing to answer all my questions. I'll never forget her willingness to help, her patience, and her excitement for me to make this move. Sara definitely has the right energy you want around you when you are taking a risk, trying something new, or working on something meaningful.” - Wade Forbes, Founder of RedTale Communications, LLC
“Sara has been a pleasure to work with as I began to explore the option of working independently. She provided guidance and advice that was incredibly valuable to me. I would recommend Sara to my friends and colleagues who are thinking about moving to independent/contract work, Sara can provide the insight and tools you will need. Plus, you will enjoy working with her.” - Ken Kraft, Executive VP, Bank OZK
“Sara worked as my business manager at MBO Partners for a little over one year and was extremely professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.
