What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a client-focused commercial role in SaaS sales, business development, customer success, recruitment, or account management where I can build relationships, manage sales processes, and deliver strong customer experiences.

I've built my sales career across BMW Tygervalley, WeBuyCars, Mekor Suzuki, and Mekor Honda, guiding clients through consultative vehicle purchases, product demonstrations, trade-ins, finance applications, and delivery handovers.

At WeBuyCars, I evaluated used vehicles, produced inspection reports, assessed mechanical and cosmetic faults, supported competitive pricing, managed FICA documentation and payments, and coordinated vehicle logistics across locations.

I bring over three years of experience in business development, lead generation, client acquisition, account management, pipeline management, and customer service. I'm also experienced in leading hospitality teams, upselling, stock control, and creating attentive client experiences.
