What I'm looking for
At Spec-Savers Optometry, I provide front-line customer service and manage appointments, customer accounts, claims, and invoicing. I also prepare daily and month-end reports and handle reconciliations.
At Nictus Furnishers, I followed up on outstanding payments, maintained debtor records, and supported credit approvals. I also supervised clerical staff and assisted with training and orientation.
As a Sales Executive at Nictus Furnishers, I worked toward sales and gross-profit targets, prepared quotations, and helped customers make purchasing decisions. I also handled complaints and reported on sales performance.
