Business Development Manager & Financial Growth Expert || helping B2B, B2C, and B2G organizations scale revenue | Products & Teams Management Expert.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-driven Business Development & Sales professional who builds pipeline, closes high-value deals, and strengthens client relationships. I combine client acquisition, sales conversion, and relationship management with team leadership and reporting to drive measurable growth.
In roles like Sales Manager at BrandDrive, I researched and qualified high-value leads, maintained a strong CRM-based pipeline, and delivered tailored product demonstrations and proposals. I managed objections, negotiated terms, closed deals, supported onboarding, and monitored account health—consistently meeting monthly sales quotas and delivering strong conversion and retention.
As a Business Development Manager & Team Lead at 1803 Consultants, I led a BD team to hit revenue targets and KPIs within contract timelines. I trained and onboarded team members, oversaw the end-to-end sales pipeline, and collaborated on strategic growth plans—while also interviewing and shortlisting candidates for sales roles.
Alongside sales, I bring hands-on digital marketing and affiliate expertise: social media management, content and campaign creation, email marketing, Google Analytics, website management, and affiliate academy/program setup. I’ve also led trainings and webinars for SMEs and affiliate marketers, coaching them on financial/business management and improving funnel performance through ongoing tracking and optimization.
