Now let&#8217;s start things off, can you tell us a little bit about your education and background?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: Thanks, I&#8217;m honored to be April&#8217;s pick! My background consists of Computer Science MBA (one semester) and a postgraduate degree in Marketing. I specialize in Project Management, PMP, and Digital Marketing. I have 15+ years of Microsoft and IBM training. Also 30 years in IT sales, direct customer and partner roles. Not to mention I&#8217;ve studied four different languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: That is quite impressive Linda, we&#8217;re glad to have you on our side. Now how long have you been with Beyondsoft? Can you tell us more about your role with BCI?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: Let&#8217;s see, I have been the Business Development Director for 2 years now. My job consists of growing the current customer base and developing new business; sales quota, alliances and relationships and business development (sell to, with and through Microsoft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: Keep going at it, we believe in you! What would your coworkers say is your greatest strength and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: I think my coworkers would say coaching and being people oriented. I&#8217;ve always been committed to making things happen and getting results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: We don&#8217;t doubt that! What do you think your best quality is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: I would say common sense and building strong long term relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: Relationship building is a strong quality to have especially with sales. What is your guilty pleasure TV show?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: One of the best shows on TV right now, Game of Thrones! I&#8217;m on the edge of my seat every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: We are with you there! Let&#8217;s say you were able to have a vacation tomorrow where in the world would you go and why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: I would have to say Russia as I want to see the place where my grandfather was born or Mexico City to celebrate Mother\u2019s Day with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: That&#8217;s right, Mother&#8217;s Day is coming up on May 12th for all you readers out there! Some days were busy and don&#8217;t have time to cook what is your favorite takeout food or restaurant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: Hmm this is a hard question but my go-to would have to be sushi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: We have a fun question for you here, what is a song title that best describes your personality?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: Any Def Leppard hit from the \u201980s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marketing<\/strong>: We don&#8217;t want to take up any more of your time, so this will be our last question. What is one thing you cannot resist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linda<\/strong>: My honest answer would have to be chocolate because who doesn&#8217;t love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br \/>Interested in joining our team?
