Sales Manager with strong communication, digital marketing, and customer growth focus.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Sales Manager with 7 years of working as a sales executive in the marketing sector, building skills through multicultural companies and challenging environments. I bring a keen, reliable, motivated approach, backed by a master’s degree.
In my current role, I sell branded FMCG products both domestically and internationally by identifying new customers, establishing and nurturing relationships, and promoting prices and offers. I also use social media platforms and digital channels, conduct research and networking for lead customers, and arrange meetings or presentations.
I’m comfortable negotiating prices for mutual satisfaction and maintaining detailed records of client communications. In earlier roles, I engaged potential guests, addressed questions and concerns, secured commitments through signed contracts and deposits, and helped shape menus and event details while discussing additional services.
Across my experience, I’m an empathetic problem solver who stays patient under pressure and adapts quickly to new environments. I work well in a team and also on my own initiative, with an organized, structured approach to market research, customer information, and data-informed decisions.
