Say hello to Alexandra, a Partner Account Executive on our Channel Sales team! She has been with us for the last four years, and today she is diving into what her #LifeAtYelp looks like in Partner Sales.

Tell us about your journey at Yelp

I started at Yelp in June 2019 as my first job after graduation. After my Local Sales training at Yelp, I had the unique opportunity to transfer to the Franchise Team after just two months. I had great leadership during my two and a half years in Franchise and was then promoted to Channel Partner Sales!

You mentioned Yelp was your first job after graduation, why do you think it’s a good place for someone to start their career?

Yelp is a great place for someone to start their career because of the incredible training and support you get! Not only am I still using the tools I learned in training, but I also still have friendships from my first day at Yelp. When you start here, you are not only starting a new career, but you are also joining a community of great people!

How did you know that you wanted to pursue a job in sales?

I actually didn’t know that I wanted to work in sales! Like so many others, I struggled with the idea of what to do after college. However, I did know two things: I have always been a chatterbox who enjoys relationship building, and I could never have the kind of job where I sat at a computer all day. So, I had to find a role that would allow me to connect with people. Sales was exactly that, and here I am today!

What is your advice to someone interested in sales?

Growth and comfort don’t coexist! Allow yourself to grow every single day by doing things outside your comfort zone. Doing these uncomfortable things, whether it be trying something new in your personal life or at work, will give you the confidence necessary to close the deal.

How does Yelp support your work-life balance?

Yelp supports my work-life balance by offering wellness reimbursements. I use mine to go to yoga classes to unwind after a long day.

How does Yelp’s leadership remind you that your work is valued?

Yelp’s leadership lets me know my work is valued by providing incentives and fun rewards for hitting goals.

Want to work with Alexandra?

From day one of your career at Yelp, you will have access to our five-star benefits including monthly wellness reimbursements, 401(k) matching, generous PTO and wellness time off, and more. Check out our open opportunities and apply today!
