Sales development professional driving B2B market expansion and repeat revenue.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Sales Development Representative with a founder mentality and demonstrated success converting 25–35% of leads into revenue. I specialize in outbound prospecting, consultative selling, and building pipelines for B2B customers across international markets.
My recent work includes introducing a U.S. hair-care brand to African vendors, securing retail partnerships, and generating repeat orders through direct outreach and in-person sales. I also run a China-to-Nigeria mini-importation e-commerce business where I manage sourcing, logistics, supplier negotiation, and customer retention.
Earlier roles include expanding beverage distribution and increasing product turnover by over 40% through relationship-building and strategic go-to-market tactics, and advising clients on product selection and sales at a tile company. I bring hands-on experience across market entry, pricing, promotions, and follow-up communications that drive repeat purchases.
I am pragmatic, entrepreneurial, and skilled at navigating cross-border coordination and complex B2B logistics. I aim to join teams where I can apply my prospecting, qualification, and market-expansion skills to grow revenue and establish sustainable distribution channels.
