What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a values-driven team that fosters growth and integrity.

I’m a New Zealand citizen currently based in Kuala Lumpur, with over 5 years of experience in high-performance sales environments. My journey in sales began at 19, and since then, I have honed my skills in connecting with clients, handling objections, and effectively communicating the benefits of the solutions I offer. My consultative approach focuses on understanding client needs and solving real problems, which has led to numerous referrals from satisfied clients.

Throughout my career, I have consistently been recognized as one of the top salespeople in my teams, demonstrating my ability to thrive in competitive environments. I take pride in my work ethic, reliability, and my entrepreneurial mindset, always looking for ways to improve business processes. I am passionate about training and mentoring others, believing that a strong team is built on trust, respect, and shared goals.

Currently, I am seeking a new opportunity where I can contribute meaningfully to a values-driven team. I am eager to continue my professional growth while being part of a culture that values integrity, growth, and results. I thrive in environments where I can learn from driven individuals and contribute to something greater than myself.
