Profile
As a highly driven Sales Executive, my excellent networking skills and friendly, professional manner have resulted in me
achieving and exceeding targets throughout my career. My natural strong minded determination means that I have always
had an ability to thrive under pressure. I love a challenge and strive for quality in everything that I do.
I continually focus on self-improvement both personally and professionally with the aim to enhance my skill set
throughout all my work experiences. My life experience and personable nature have given me an ability to easily relate to
a wide range of people leading to good working relationships and a strong client base. I am as comfortable working on my
own initiative as I am within a team. Having experienced working within a management role early in my career my
aspirations would be to eventually progress into a managerial position within a sales environment.
