From Sales to Significance: My Unexpected Journey in Fundraising

Jered Reid

I've always thrived in the fast-paced world of sales. The thrill of closing deals, leading teams, and exceeding targets has been a driving force throughout my career. From telecommunications to energy, I've navigated various industries, honing my skills and building a track record of success. But when I discovered the world of fundraising, I found something even more fulfilling than I ever imagined.


Transitioning into fundraising wasn't just a career move; it was a shift in perspective. In my previous roles, success was often measured by numbers and profit margins. While those metrics are still important in fundraising, there's an added layer of purpose that's truly transformative. Every dollar raised represents a life changed, a community supported, and a brighter future created. It's a success that goes far beyond the bottom line.


My experience leading high-performing sales teams has proven invaluable in the fundraising world. But here, leadership takes on a new dimension. It's not just about motivating and inspiring my team to achieve goals; it's about fostering a shared passion for our cause. We're not just selling a product or service; we're inviting people to be part of something bigger than themselves. It's a privilege to witness the dedication and commitment of my team as they work towards a common purpose.


Outside of work, my family is my priority. As a father, I cherish the moments spent teaching my son about sports, life skills, and the importance of giving back. Fundraising has given me a unique opportunity to model these values for him. He sees firsthand the impact we can make when we work together to support our community. It's a lesson that I hope will stay with him throughout his life.


My journey into fundraising has been an unexpected adventure filled with purpose and passion. It's allowed me to leverage my sales expertise while making a meaningful difference in the world. I'm grateful for the opportunity to lead a team of dedicated individuals who share my commitment to creating positive change. And I'm excited to continue growing in this field, knowing that every step we take brings us closer to a brighter future for all.
