About me

I am a dedicated and experienced sales professional with a strong background in customer service, sales presentations, and team leadership. Over the years, I have developed excellent skills in managing customer relationships, motivating assistants, and coordinating sales activities to maximize efficiency and productivity. My experience spans various industries including cookware sales, radio advertising, and recruitment.

I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively with clients, understand their needs, and provide tailored solutions that enhance customer satisfaction and drive sales growth. I am adept at handling customer queries, assisting with financial adjustments, and ensuring smooth administrative processes to support sales operations.

My leadership skills have been honed through training and motivating assistants, calculating commissions, and implementing new methods to improve team performance. I am also experienced in organizing and conducting large presentations and coordinating with team members to achieve common goals.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics and have completed advanced training in teaching English as a foreign language. My strengths include strategic thinking, innovation, negotiation, and public speaking, which I apply to deliver results and foster strong client relationships.

I am fluent in English and several South African languages, which allows me to connect with a diverse client base. I am seeking opportunities where I can leverage my sales expertise, leadership abilities, and interpersonal skills to contribute to business growth and customer satisfaction.
