About

Professional summary

I am a Dutch- and English-speaking sales and customer service professional with hands-on experience in inbound sales, upselling, customer retention, and high-pressure customer assistance.

I am skilled at identifying customer needs over the phone, explaining products clearly, handling objections, and turning service conversations into sales opportunities. I enjoy helping customers find practical solutions that meet their needs.

In roadside assistance, I managed emergency cases for Dutch customers across Europe, coordinating with garages, rental agencies, and hotels while keeping customers informed and calm. I take ownership of cases from the first call through resolution.

I also have experience selling health insurance through inbound calls, using needs-based questioning and cross-selling additional coverage such as dental and physiotherapy modules. I am comfortable working toward targets and adapting quickly to new products, systems, and scripts.

My background in hospitality and retail has strengthened my communication, teamwork, suggestive selling, and complaint-resolution skills. I actively seek challenges outside my comfort zone to build new skills and grow professionally.
