Enthusiastic, target-oriented sales professional with strong rapport-building.
What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic, target-oriented professional with a strong background in sales, trading, and property investment. I bring effective communication skills, resilience in handling rejection, and the ability to build instant rapport with people from diverse backgrounds; my experience ranges from frontline hospitality to sales leadership and financial trading, and I have developed and sold trading tools as well as managed buy-to-let property renovations.
I am a quick learner who adapts to new roles and delivers results, having been a top cold-caller, promoted to team leader, worked as a trader and salesperson for Forex firms, and operated as a full-time property investor. I am currently seeking employment to stabilize my finances and contribute reliably to an employer with dedication and a results-driven mindset.
