Introducing Nicki Seefried
Meet Nicki. Nicki is the Senior Manager of Client Success at Onward and is focused on training and educating new and existing clients on using our system while listening to their feedback, making systems convenient and accessible for the user. With a background in Education Technology at Guild Education, Nicki worked as an enrollment coach for a year. At Guild, she supported employees at Lowes and Walmart by learning more about their long-term goals and assisted them in enrolling in an affordable school program. Nicki worked her way up as a team lead and later as a manager, leading a team of eight coaches who partnered with Walmart and The Walt Disney Company. After Guild, Nicki managed and coached account management teams at SonderMind, focusing on building a team and defining more scalable processes. This experience allowed her to develop substantial customer service and sales background to help strengthen accounts with existing clients.
Nicki’s background in Ed Tech makes her a perfect fit for the role of building scalable ways to teach our retailers how to use the Onward platform. A platform that acts as a major competitive advantage for our retailers once they are onboarded by Nicki’s team.
