In the fast-paced realm of sales, where charisma meets strategy, a new star has emerged. Meet Megan Hicks, the dynamic force with her unique blend of tenacity, innovation, and a keen understanding of client needs. As we delve into her journey, it’s clear that Megan is not just a sales rep; she’s a game-changer.
Megan’s roots trace back to the vibrant city of Nashville, where the rhythmic beats of country music and the warmth of Southern hospitality shaped her early years. Today, she calls Atlanta Georgia home. Outside of work, Megan’s heart is anchored by her loving family — her husband, a lively two-year-old son, and two energetic dogs who complete their lively household. In her downtime, you’ll find her embracing an active lifestyle through invigorating workouts and indulging in the thrill of retail therapy during shopping escapades.
Cultivating Connections
At the heart of Megan’s approach to work lies a genuine passion for understanding her customers on a profound level. Far more than a mere transaction, for Megan, each client interaction is an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of their professional challenges and aspirations. She invests time and effort in forging connections that extend beyond the conventional boundaries of a business relationship. She is a dedicated architect of long-term partnerships. Her commitment goes beyond closing deals; it’s about nurturing alliances built on trust, reliability, and a shared vision for success. Through her genuine interest in the success of others, Megan not only meets expectations but exceeds them, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of customer-centric salesmanship.
A Journey of Professional Evolution
Embarking on her professional journey with a passion for physical education, Megan initially pursued a path geared towards shaping young minds as a health education teacher. However, she ended up in the busy world of insurance. It was during her time in the insurance industry that Megan’s innate ability to connect with people became increasingly evident. Recognizing her exceptional interpersonal skills, someone in her network suggested a transition to tech sales at Dell as an Inside Account Manager.
Megan’s seven-year tenure at Dell became a forge for her growth, starting from the role of an Inside Account Manager and steadily ascending to the position of Regional Account Executive. Her knack for understanding client needs and fostering lasting relationships set her apart, garnering attention not only within the company but also beyond its walls. A turning point in Megan’s career came in the form of a personal phone call from our CEO at vTECH io offering her a position as our Regional Account Executive for the state of Georgia. This outreach served as a testament to Megan’s reputation as a standout professional in the tech sales arena. Her experience at Dell made her a shoo-in for this role as we are a Dell Technologies Platinum Partner.

Her primary responsibilities revolve around the art of building relationships and staying ahead of cutting-edge technologies. As a passionate advocate for the human side of business, Megan thrives in her role as a people person, where forging meaningful connections is not just a job requirement but a reflection of her intrinsic personality. Her genuine interest in people, coupled with an innate ability to understand their needs, transforms routine interactions into enduring partnerships.
One trend resonates deeply with Megan’s passion and commitment – the crucial endeavor of setting businesses up with robust ransomware protection. With a fervor for staying ahead of the cybersecurity curve, Megan finds fulfillment in championing a cause that goes beyond mere technological advancements; it’s about safeguarding the very essence of businesses from the pervasive threat of ransomware.
As cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication, Megan recognizes the paramount importance of proactively securing businesses against potential attacks. Her excitement stems from the transformative impact that effective ransomware protection can have on an organization’s resilience and continuity. Megan’s passion for ransomware protection is more than a professional commitment; it’s a dedication to empowering businesses to thrive in an era where digital security is paramount.

A key focus for her lies in the prospect of growing new territories and businesses, a prospect that fuels her aspirations and ignites her professional drive.
Megan envisions a future where she can extend her expertise to diverse sectors, particularly commercial companies that form the backbone of various industries.

Megan’s Insights for Success
In the continuously advancing field of technology, Megan imparts invaluable wisdom drawn from her own dynamic journey. Her advice is simple yet profound: be agile. In a landscape where technology undergoes constant metamorphosis, adaptability is the key to not just survival but thriving in the face of change.
One pivotal lesson Megan learned is that it’s important to have connections with different people in a client’s organization. Recognizing that there are many decision-makers involved, she highlights the need to build relationships with at least three contacts. This strategy helps avoid problems that can arise from depending only on one person. In Megan’s experience, where teamwork and influence go hand in hand, having multiple connections ensures a better understanding of the client’s needs and helps prevent the risk of losing a sale unexpectedly.
Megan exemplifies the ethos of innovation that pulses at the heart of our company. Join us at vTECH io, where every story is a chapter in the larger narrative of innovation, and every collaboration is an opportunity to redefine the future of tech solutions.
