Sixty nine percent of sales directors are males who on average possess 10 to 19 years of experience. With her strides at RelatedISG, Rebecca Batterman defies this: she is a woman dominating the competitive sales industry who, against the odds, climbed her way to the top in a mere five years. She has prudently used her skills from her past experience as a public relations and marketing professional to help become the Director of Sales for The Residences at W Fort Lauderdale. Averaging a sale per week, Batterman has one of the highest success rates at RelatedISG, and with her tenacious ethos, that number—like her career—will continue to catapult upward.
