About Us

Knoqqknoqq offers a beginner, interactive course for high school students, teaching sales, communication and negotiation skills and techniques, regardless of their career goals. Founded by Jourdain L Damas- a former stock broker with lengthy experience pitching investments through cold calling and knocking methods, subsequently a financial analyst, and now a current leader in economic consulting- who was inspired by the observed experiences of his son, a STEM-focused high school student with aspirations for school-leadership positions and career in science. Mr. Damas considered the many imminent ways students will find themselves in selling situations and imagined the resulting power that instilling persuasive-communication soft skills might create as they forge toward greater achievement. The earlier young leaders begin to hone these skills, the earlier they build confidence and display characteristics of a more refined and strategic communicator.
