Skilled business development representative with experience in sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated business development representative with a strong background in real estate and commodity food ingredients sales. My experience at Gemsa Oils Enterprise has equipped me with the skills to effectively target business accounts, convert leads into paying customers, and foster lasting relationships through exceptional customer service. I pride myself on my ability to increase client bases by identifying potential customers and initiating strategic outreach.
Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered revenue growth by negotiating contracts and pricing strategies that meet both company and customer needs. My proactive approach includes conducting market research to identify new business opportunities and utilizing social media platforms for networking and prospecting. I thrive in collaborative environments, coordinating with internal teams to streamline deal closure processes while prioritizing customer satisfaction.
My previous roles, including Inside Sales Representative and New Homes Sales Assistant, have further honed my skills in lead generation, customer relationship management, and sales techniques. I am passionate about helping customers find solutions that meet their needs and am always looking for ways to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.
