Nina Nguyen

I currently work as a lead generating specialist at a media company headquartered in Brentwood, California. My career path has been unconventional but has given me incredible depth in sales, marketing, and customer service. I started in hospitality, bartending in Las Vegas where I learned the art of face-to-face customer service and building genuine connections with people. When I became a single mother in 2020, I made a complete career transition into digital marketing and sales. I began with Angie's List doing cold calling and lead generation, where I learned that authenticity is the key to sales success. I threw away the scripts and started having real, genuine conversations with clients, which transformed my results. I was then recruited to Yelp, where I sold digital advertising across every business category imaginable, from restaurants to dog walking services to home services. My fluency in Vietnamese became a tremendous asset, opening doors to work with enterprise accounts and multi-location businesses across different regions. I moved to WebMD where I worked with medical providers and learned the complete sales cycle from prospecting to close. Now, at my current company, I work with both digital and print advertising, and I've discovered there's a whole demographic that values traditional print media alongside digital marketing. I love the hybrid nature of my current role because it gives me human interaction beyond just being in my home office. Throughout my career, I've specialized in lead-generating platforms and helping businesses grow through strategic marketing and advertising solutions.
