What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a sales and business development role where I can grow revenue, build repeat customer relationships, and use digital tools and AI-assisted research to improve efficiency and customer engagement in a fast-paced team.

I’m a results-driven sales and business professional with over five years of experience in sales, customer relationship management, and business development. I consistently meet and exceed sales targets in competitive environments while delivering excellent customer service.

In my current role as Junior Sales Manager – Deals on Barracks, I support sales strategy execution to increase revenue and customer engagement. I track performance with digital tools and consistently achieve monthly targets with an average of 3+ vehicles sold per month.

Before that, as a Sales Representative at Mirza Motors, I used consultative selling to engage customers, identify needs, and recommend suitable options. I built long-term client relationships through excellent service and follow-up, and I supported transactions with documentation, customer records, and inventory organization.

Alongside sales, I run independent real estate sales connecting property buyers with investment opportunities, and I conduct market research to understand pricing trends and demand. I’m also recognized for strong entrepreneurship and employability—earning Highest Mark in Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Employability & Self Development, plus a Best Business Idea Award at the Brain of JIPS ABE Contest.
