About the Author: Mary was born and raised in Valparaiso, IN where she grew up in the arts. She studied dance, piano, and acting. She focused heavily on her academics and dance throughout her childhood and maintained a 4.0 GPA. Upon moving to Boulder, CO in 1998, she immediately began working to help support her family. Due to rehabilitation from a car accident, Mary only completed one semester of college at CU Boulder. She went on to hold various part-time jobs and eventually began her career in the mortgage industry. After 10 short months, Mary began employment with Paychex, Inc. as a sales assistant in the major market services division in 2005. Mary quickly learned the products and industry, began working on her Bachelor's Degree at the University of Phoenix, and was promoted into major market sales in 2007. Although she did not have sales experience, she became the number one rep in her division within months of being promoted. She attributes her early success in sales to choosing to 'think outside the box', add to her standard Paychex training, and begin a career on relationship-based selling. She committed to learning every system on the market for accounting, payroll, HR, and time-keeping in an effort to become a trusted consultant. The relationships she built in her early years in sales continue to support her in her business ventures, five years later. Mary sold over $1.8M in revenue at Paychex in just over two years. She held the number one title while she was given the opportunity to fly around the country training sales managers and sales reps. In her last few months with Paychex, she worked directly with the VP of her division to discuss the infrastructure, systems, and processes for the $300M division of the $2B company. Upon succeeding at this level of work and completing her Bachelor's Degree in Business & Marketing, she decided to leave Paychex and begin working with start-up companies. Over the past two years, she has partnered with several start-ups. With each, she helped build the business, financial, operational, sales/marketing, and technology infrastructure; and successfully took each company to market with an efficient go-to-market strategy. Mary also teaches dance at Centerstage Starz in Centennial. She teaches ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, and hip-hop. Her passion shows in everything she commits to and will always listen first, speak second, and execute third in an effort to build the best relationships in business.
