What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and results-oriented sales professional with over 15 years of experience across various sectors, including property, automotive, FMCG, and project management. My expertise lies in client acquisition and pipeline building, supported by a master’s degree in marketing. I am a skilled negotiator, fluent in both Mandarin and English, and adept at consultative selling and CRM management. My goal is to transition into SaaS/tech sales, where I can leverage my commercial mindset and relationship skills to drive impactful outcomes.
In my current role as a Lettings Consultant at Foxtons, I have successfully closed 38 property deals, generating over £250K in revenue. I excel at lead generation and client conversions, consulting with international buyers through virtual engagement. Previously, as a Regional Aftersales Manager at BYD UK, I expanded our dealer network from 5 to 38 partners and collaborated with IT and marketing teams to enhance customer experience.
My experience also includes managing cross-functional initiatives as a Project Manager at Shell Global, where I achieved a remarkable 35% year-over-year growth. I launched and scaled an online marketplace at PUREnCHIC.com, driving digital sales and optimizing conversion funnels. I am passionate about tech startups and continuously seek to improve my skills in CRM systems and digital marketing.
