Jaana Vuorio
@jaanavuorio
Sales & business development professional focused on customer success and pipeline growth across B2B and retail.
What I'm looking for
I’m a sales and business development professional with experience across B2B and customer-facing retail roles, bringing disciplined execution, clear communication, and a strong customer-first mindset.
Most recently, I worked as a Sales & Business Development Associate at Ai-Bridge GmbH, where I independently generated leads and managed accounts, owning the full sales pipeline in CRM. I also supported job seekers on the MyJobAI.de platform—resolving issues and collecting feedback to improve user experience.
In Finland and Germany, I represented Finnish honey brands at Christmas markets for Polar-Honey Finland, presenting products in German, English, and Finnish. I decorated and arranged sales stands, reconciled cash registers, tracked inventory, onboarded and trained staff, and coordinated with market organizers during pre-opening procedures.
Earlier roles strengthened my approach to consistently exceeding goals: as a Sales Advisor at COS and a Peloton Expert showroom sales associate, I focused on product knowledge, visual merchandising standards, proactive client outreach, and maintaining client information and preferences. I also bring supporting customer service experience from online streaming support and social media case handling.
