Early Career
Before turning to sales, Jason was a successful fashion model working with the legendary fashion designers of the likes of Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein and lived most of his life traveling between New York, Milan, Barcelona, Munich, Madrid, Tokyo, and more.
After years of living this life, it all started to become the same…meaning the countries, the traveling, the nightclubs, the jobs. And he wanted to do more and be more proactive. He decided to completely stop modeling and move to New York to go to acting school at the prestigious Circle In The Square Theatre School.
Jason shifted his focus from modeling to learning the art of acting on stage, TV, and film. During that time Jason was a waiter, bartender, doorman, and caterer in NYC and he says he was not good at any of those jobs. Then he stepped into the world of selling.
He started his career at Hilton Hotels in New York City on 54th and 6th avenue. In Hilton Hotel’s first-ever urban timeshare division. There, Jason had excellent mentorship and was exposed to the Fortune 500 sales process of closing sales in the first meeting If you did not close your sale in the first meeting you never saw this client again. Each sale was $25K-150K all done in approximately 90 minutes. Jason excelled and soon was promoted to sales manager and was responsible for a small team of salespeople at the Hilton in NYC. Then, he was promoted to interim director of training at a $120 million-a-year sales site. Next, he was project director, for Starwood Hotels largest vacation ownership resort in the world, and finally, he became vice president of sales responsible for $50M of sales per year
