About Elizabeth

In this role, she works with smaller to medium-sized property management companies and portfolios to secure exposure on Zillow and meet occupancy goals for multifamily homes. She has nearly two years in her current position, following a decade-long career in sales that includes tech sales for a local software company in Virginia Beach and field executive work in construction sales, where she also acted as regional trainer. Stephens earned a degree in business administration but has primarily built her expertise through on-the-job experience and success in sales roles. Her achievements include being named a top performer and participating in the President's trip in 2022. She emphasizes preparation, calendar blocking, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance as a mother and woman in sales. Additionally, she has contributed to her community as a mentor with the King Brew girls' program for about a year.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Elizabeth

01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Always being overly prepared, calendar blocking, making sure I'm very intentional about how my day is, and already having my next day planned. If you don't know what you're doing tomorrow, tomorrow's already gone. Also embracing being a mom and woman in sales with healthy work-life balance and prioritizing recharging.

02What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

Being as personal as possible while in a remote role to build connections; standing out amid spam calls and outreach; setting myself apart in an environment where people don't want to answer unknown numbers.
