Divine Favour Ogbonna
@divinefavouro
High-ticket sales and artist recruitment professional who builds trust, negotiates, and closes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a persuasive communicator with a proven background in high-stakes, face-to-face selling and relationship building. I combine emotional intelligence, confident communication, and the ability to read people quickly to secure commitments and drive revenue.
As an Artist Recruiter for Didi One Art Gallery (2025), I identified, approached, and persuaded emerging and established artists to join gallery representation—often negotiating terms directly with individuals who had competing offers. I built trust and rapport quickly, managed a pipeline “from first contact through signed representation,” and represented the gallery’s value proposition in every interaction.
I also supported high-value art sales as a Gallery Assistant at Pet Art Gallery (2020–2022), engaging collectors and guiding buyers through purchase decisions in the $1,000–$10,000+ range while handling objections and price sensitivity “with tact.” From 2019 to date, I’ve sold original artwork directly to private collectors and clients by owning the full sales conversation—from interest to close—setting and defending pricing while preserving relationships. Through Flight Dispatch / Operations Trainee training (2025), I strengthened composure under pressure, quick decision-making, and clear, regulatory-precise communication that translates directly to high-stakes closing.
