Quick Questions with Austin: Account Executive

Written by Mia Campbell | Tue, Oct 4, '22

When he's not listening to country music, playing Pickleball, or neverending fetch with his dog Jeter, Austin is our Account Executive at SwipedOn, based in the U S of A! We caught up with Austin to find out what a day in the life is like for him. Ready? Lessgo. ๐Ÿค  

In a nutshell, what do you do at SwipedOn?

My job is to bring in new business ๐ŸŽฃ and keep the SwipedOn brand growing across the US and Canada ๐Ÿ“ˆ Businesses of all shapes and sizes are who we want to be working with.

What does a day in the life of you at SwipedOn look like?

Typically demos take up a lot of my day and the rest is phone calls and emails. Always interacting with anyone I can and trying to help them learn about our software and how we can help solve their problems (or at least the work-related ones ๐Ÿ˜†).

What are some of your favorite parts about being part of the team here? 

Even though I'm a "remote" employee, I always feel apart of the larger global team. Between fun slack messages I get to read with my morning coffee (or afternoon 4th coffee) and the banter we have when everyone is online, there's never a shortage of entertainment.

What do you particularly like about what weโ€™re doing with SwipedOn?  

We're helping so many businesses modernize their workplace and also helping the environment by ditching the paper and pen sign-in process. โœ…

What three words would you use to describe your role? 

1. Chatty
2. Logical
3. Consultative

Do you have a favorite motto or mantra you live by?  

Life's too short to bet the under ๐Ÿ”ฅ

What did you do in your previous working life?

I was in logistics sales for a while and before that, I worked in Franchising Compliance at a real estate company. ๐Ÿ˜ด

What do you do in your free time?  

I'm an avid pickleball player and the rest of my time is spent playing endless hours of fetch with my dog Jeter. 

What are three things still left on your bucket list?  

  1. Visit every Major League Baseball stadium โšพ๏ธ
  2. Travel to Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น
  3. Open a coffee shop โ˜•๏ธ 

Whatโ€™s on your SwipedOn playlist?

The king of country music of course, George Strait.

If you were stuck on a desert island and you could choose one person from the SwipedOn team to come with you, who would you take and why?

I'd choose Hads - his time as a yacht captain could help us find a way off the island. Or at least his comic relief will make our island time more enjoyable. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Let's end this with a weird fact about you..

I taught myself how to write with both hands in the 2nd grade. โœ๏ธ
