Hamsa Durant
@hamsadurant
Personable professional with 5+ years in customer service and sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a personable and driven professional with over five years of experience in customer service, sales, and administrative support. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as I have consistently exceeded sales goals and built strong relationships with clients. I pride myself on my top-tier communication skills and my ability to adapt to both team-based and remote work environments.
In my current role as a Dog Walker & Sitter at Doggy Days Are The Best Days, I provide personalized care for dogs, focusing on anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My responsibilities include maintaining communication with clients to build trust and ensure a strong repeat customer base. I also manage scheduling, invoicing, and client services independently, showcasing my organizational skills and attention to detail.
Previously, I worked as a Cannabis Consultant at 99 High Tide, where I delivered product consultations and boosted member conversion rates through effective relationship building. My experience as a Private Client Manager further honed my skills in calendar coordination and time management, ensuring that I meet the needs of my clients efficiently. I am eager to bring my strong interpersonal skills and adaptability to a dynamic hybrid or remote position.
