Amanda Matemarunda
@amandamatemarunda
Results-driven sales professional specializing in business development, prospecting, and deal closing.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Sales Professional with a strong focus on business development, client engagement, prospecting, and closing sales across B2B and B2C environments. I bring a target-driven mindset, confident communication, and strong negotiation skills to every deal I manage.
In my most recent role as a Sales Representative in life assurance, I identified and developed new business opportunities through cold calling, referrals, and client visits. I assessed client needs, recommended suitable insurance solutions, and clearly explained policy details, premiums, and benefits to support informed decisions.
Previously, at Motiv8 Creatives, I promoted services and conducted presentations to pitch and upsell branding packages. I prepared tailored proposals and quotations, negotiated and closed sales to meet targets, and managed the full sales pipeline—from lead to closure—while building and maintaining a client database.
Earlier, I developed strong customer-facing skills at Simbisa Brands as a Customer Service & Cashier, where I handled high volumes of customers, managed purchases and refunds, balanced daily cash accurately, and resolved complaints using negotiation and conflict resolution. I consistently apply digital channels—WhatsApp, email, and social media—to generate leads, sustain engagement, and drive repeat business through reliable relationship management.
