Kennedy Kinoti
@kennedykinoti
Field sales professional using economics-backed data to grow business.
What I'm looking for
I build sales growth by combining a strong foundation in economics and statistics with hands-on commercial experience. I focus on identifying market opportunities, improving route-to-market, and nurturing client relationships that translate into real revenue.
As a Field Sales Representative at Kenya Wine Agency Limited (09/2023–Present), I improve route-to-market through on-site consumer engagement and strengthen distributor management using key data. I also use CRM tools to track and optimize the sales pipeline, conduct market research for new opportunities, and deliver product presentations that increase customer engagement.
I previously served as a Trade Development Representative at Suntory Beverage and Food (09/2021–08/2022), where I analyzed sales data to refine strategies and improve conversion rates. I maintained strong trade-partner relationships, organized trade promotional events, and prepared detailed sales reports and forecasts to support strategic decisions.
I also bring lead-generation and market-expansion experience from roles including Market Developer at East African Breweries (08/2021–09/2021), where I generated 150+ qualified leads via targeted outreach. Earlier, I taught at Laikipia University, delivering engaging classes to 200+ students per semester, and I now bring that same energy into mentoring teammates on best sales practices.
