A first-generation Latina looking to make a positive change in the world. One voice at-a-time. One story at-a-time. One connection at-at-time.  Based in Houston, Raquel has dedicated herself to healthcare advocacy and healthcare education for the last 12 years. 

Having a multi-lingual background, she has been able to expand her reach by educating different neighborhood groups around the Houston area. Through her efforts, many members of the communities who otherwise would go without proper health care have benefitted from her advocacy and received health services.  Her efforts have decreased the high percentage of members who go without basic health needs. 

She works directly with state, city, county, and other local officials to educate communities on important health topics. Raquel is also involved in active research in partnership with various entities such as her world-renowned alma mater Texas A&M University, BakerRipley, and the City of Houston.  This active research aims to identify the external environmental factors which may cause physical stressors on the elderly when participating in physical activities within their communities. Based on the results of the research, enhancements will be made to improve the neighborhood surroundings to be more age-friendly. 

Raquel possesses excellent leadership skills and is looking forward to building a coachable team that will increase the reach potential thus expanding the efforts of her "Mission with a vision". She looks forward to empowering women and contribute globally to spread her message of love and kindness to the world.

Raquel has called Houston her home for the last 30 years. She is a sports enthusiast and labels herself "gung-ho" about all things "Aggies".  Avid salsa dancer. Foodie. Lives with her furbabies and children. Enjoys the beach and quality time exploring the city and seeking adventures. Raquel is currently working on publishing her book and looks forward to sharing her life journey through speaking engagements.

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.

It's #hiring season at Traction -- and not JUST for our clients, but for ourselves.

We're looking for the diamond in the rough because every client we help get hired means another *patient* and *provider* gets the support they need.

Please RESHARE to help us find that diamond!

Can't WAIT to meet you.

Creative Writer, Medical Sales & Healthcare Branding
At Traction Resume, we’re looking for a fiercely curious, deeply empathetic creative contract writer who is obsessed with understanding what makes people tick and why that matters to the people they want to hire them. This person is equally excited to be with a company that is on a growth trajectory.

This storyteller is passionate about translating that insight into powerful, human-centered resumes and personal branding materials that help medical sales and healthcare leaders reclaim confidence at pivotal career moments. If one of this person's secret claims to fame is regularly noting typos in the novels they read, we'll have *a lot* in common.

This role is for a natural deep thinker and eager collaborator -- someone who stokes the fire of others and knows how to earn trust quickly; ask questions that illicit backstory, context, and character; extract character and credibility from complex careers; and write with clarity, urgency, and grace—especially when clients are navigating fear, transition, or high-stakes opportunity.

Ideal candidates bring proven past success in medical sales and/or healthcare environments, a strong grasp of industry language and expectations, and hands-on experience in client or account management, balancing precision, professionalism, and *high-emotional intelligence* while delivering exceptional work under deadlines that matter.

Grace - Integrity - Urgency...are our pillars and if they're on the side of no-AI in personal branding, we'll get along swimmingly!

Due to our client base and consistent collaboration, only US-based writers will be considered.

IF THIS IS YOU: Please send your non-AI enhanced resume, cover letter, and references to Hello@TractionResume.com to be considered. Applications will be accepted by 1/15/2026. If selected, the candidate will speak with Claire directly and in-depth regarding pay, projects, and role details.

Fair warning: if AI is detected in your materials, you're unlikely to be considered.

>> Kindly Title Your Email: Creative Writing is my Jam <<

It's been *too long* since you got a present.
I've got 7 Free 2-MONTH Trials of Premium 
and I'm not afraid to share 'em!

DM Me PREMIUM, if you'd like one.

I'll share my link with the first 7 and we'll use 'em till they're gone.

Thank you to LinkedIn for their generosity and Dominic Imwalle for reminding me about these. 

Happy Saturday!

Of the 6 Basic Human Needs, harnessing just 2 will instantly take your networking from 🦗 crickets and 🧊 cold calls to...

...engaged conversations and relationship foundations. 🔆

 What are they?...

Significance & Connection

What does it feel like when someone thoughtfully comments on your post?

Or connects with a personal message that indicates they actually read your About section or work experience? 

🥰

Appreciated? Heard? Understood?

It's science.

Those kind of comments instantly forge a bond 🪢 between creator and reader -- and the connections become both relevant and genuine.

So, how do you do this?
(yes, even in Medical Sales...)

Spend more time commenting than posting.

Trust me.

And, yeah -- throw a compliment in there if you admire something about their work.

Even better -- ask "how" they got there.

Seriously, it's that simple. 😎

And the other 4? 

Certainty, Variety, Growth, & Contribution.

Tap into making others (and yourself) feel Significant and Connected.

Did you try it? 👇

Spicy take
Is it the soft OR hard skills 
that are derailing your interview?

My take…

both.

Both are important, but they need to be showcased in a way that conveys value.

Otherwise, they'll fall flat.

An easy way to show how you’ve used BOTH soft or hard skills to achieve results is this:

(Result + Metric) by (Method), (Stakes/Relevance) 

An example is:

Reduced turnover by 85% by mentoring internal sales talent in weekly 30-minute sessions, despite the launch of competing drug in the region.

(S)he who conveys the value best -- wins!

I could write a book about you

seriously.

Here are a few things I could cover based on what my clients said this month:

>> getting in with impossible-to-reach people
>> supporting colleagues through hardship
>> how to inspire demotivated teams
>> leadership in a volatile market
>> marrying sales + marketing
>> consulting in new markets
>> parenting with autonomy
>> hiring for fit > function
>> commercialization

...and more

So when we condense someone's brilliance -- their System for Success -- in these areas, it's an art.

This slider is an example of how we distilled one of the most motivational, loved, and trusted women in medical sales from 5 pages of wins and war stories...

down to 2.

2 Powerfully Written Branding Pages

(aka, a resume)

>> And the point of it all can be found on slide 16 <<

Congrats, Kellie. 
Well-deserved!

Resume Transformation

"Claire -- my posts are getting no traction..."
"My networking is getting no traction..."
The truth?

>>> it's all about having a system <<<

Just like working out -- I mean, my treadmill IS downstairs, but unless I plan for it, it's juuuuust not happening today.

And what happens then? 

>> if your posts are flailing and you're feeling like quitting

>> or your networking feels plateaued and you're just going to stay in that job you hate.

Well, this one's for you.

1. You need a system
2. then, you can work that system
3. You have *not* networked with everyone yet

(I mean, unless your rolodex is crossing 274,000 today -- you've not yet even tapped all medical sales directors on LinkedIn.)

Yep.

...and that is JUST a "director, medical sales" search

We've not even considered searching:

Medtech > Manager
Medical Sales > Hiring
Pharmaceutical Sales > Hiring
Distributor Representative > Hiring
Biotech > Regional Manager > Hiring
and so on...

In short, there are LOTS of levers to pull.

And you know me -- I love a *system*

So when it comes to networking, I like to use our 5-5-5 approach. 

TRY THIS:

>> Reach out to 5 people you KNEW
>> 5 people you KNOW 
>> and 5 people you WANT TO KNOW
(hello Linkedin Searches and 2nd connections)

This helps to revive your old connections, nurture your current ones, and stay engaged with new people who are active in the arena where you want to be seen.

SANITY SAVER:

Network with these 5-5-5 every work day
and once you've done it, check it off your list.

Don't spend your entire day scrolling and networking 
and you'll avoid burnout that can happen 
with a robust (but overloaded) 
networking strategy.

You've got this!

Do you have a networking routine? 

DM me today if you'd like help building one.

-Claire
