Sales Manager specializing in luxury real estate and client relations.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Sales Manager with extensive experience in the luxury real estate sector, I have successfully built and maintained an international client portfolio. My role at RAK Properties involves not only active sales but also crafting tailored investment proposals that consider market trends and ROI. I thrive in high-pressure environments, regularly participating in international property exhibitions and VIP events to generate leads and close deals.
Previously, I worked with Sobha Realty, where I provided exceptional service to high-net-worth individuals, guiding them through the entire sales cycle. My ability to utilize CRM systems like Salesforce for lead tracking and pipeline management has been instrumental in maximizing sales outcomes. My background also includes customer service roles in Emirates Airlines, where I honed my skills in client relations and conflict resolution.
