Mike Farber / The ROI Shop
I have over 16 years of software sales experience working for companies like Xactly Corporation and Concur Technologies. Based on the struggles I along with my colleagues have experienced during the sales cycles we set out to create a one of a kind sales enablement tool (by a sales person for a sales person) to help in an area that most organizations struggle with…. Selling “VALUE”
We have developed a unique application that enable sales people to collaborate and build the financial justification (ROI) with their prospects in a way that has never been done before.
Our “Value” selling application will: • Reduce “NO DECISIONS” by painting a more compelling picture • Provide your “CHAMPION” a tool that will help them sell the project internally • Enable your sales people to have those critical financial discussions • Further qualify opportunities • Clearly separate you from the competition

Albright has held a distinguished 22 year career in IPO execution, investment banking, corporate communications, financial marketing as well as institutional and retail sales.

Through her NowStreet blog, Albright was one of the earliest voices covering the JOBS Act and advocating for greater democracy in the equity and credit markets. She produced the very first crowdfunding conference in January 2012 which was headlined by key JOBS Act architects: Congressman Patrick McHenry and Dave Weild. That event helped birth the crowdfinance movement and led to the founding of the industry’s trade and leadership organizations. In 2013, she co-founded LendIt which went on to become the largest and most recognized global p2p & online lending conference organization. Some of the most prominent figures in the financial industry as well as the legislature continue to participate in Albright’s events. Her leading-edge articles that have helped shape the direction of the crowdfinance industry can be found on Equities.com, Crowdfund Insider, Seeking Alpha, Investing.com and Business Insider.
