Ambitious sales professional with a passion for customer service.
What I'm looking for
I am a bright and ambitious individual with a strong passion for sales and customer service. With over three years of experience in various customer-facing roles, I have honed my skills in communication, problem management, and sales techniques. My journey began in retail, where I developed a solid foundation in customer service and cash handling, which I later expanded upon in telesales and customer assistance roles.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to retain customers and handle inquiries effectively. My recent role as a Telesales Advisor at Wifinity allowed me to utilize my sales expertise to manage cancellations and retain customers. I have also worked with reputable companies like Webhelp, where I sold phone contracts and managed billing queries for Vodafone. My educational background in Business Studies has further equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the sales and customer service industry.
