July 8, 2021 – Evan Comeau, Sales Manager, spoke with Built in Boston about what he’s learned about leading a sales team. Joining Forward Financing in 2016, he is one of the company’s longest-tenured employees. 

Dedicated to providing top-tier service and always advocating for his customer to receive the best offer possible, Comeau has helped hundreds of small businesses access working capital. While he excelled in his individual contributor roles, he has had the most impact on the company by supporting the personal and professional growth of the Account Executive team.

“I believe every sales leader needs to be dependable, empowering, and inspiring,” says Comeau. “The biggest obstacle I overcame when transitioning from a senior sales role into a leadership role was being more of a ‘shower’ instead of a ‘teller.’”
