Business development professional driving B2B client acquisition, partnerships, and deal negotiation across energy and real estate.
What I'm looking for
I’m a business development professional focused on driving B2B client acquisition, strategic partnerships, and relationship management across the energy infrastructure, real estate, and consulting sectors. I identify commercial opportunities, initiate outreach to decision-makers, and move proposals from first contact through negotiation.
In my current freelance role as a Business Development Lead, I generate and qualify leads across corporate organizations, government agencies, and parastatals. I prepare and submit business proposals and capability presentations, maintain organized lead pipeline and CRM records, and conduct follow-up calls, meetings, and email outreach to strengthen business conversion.
Previously, I worked as a Business Development Officer at Linkcity Gas Network Limited, where I introduced gas reticulation and dual-fuel generator conversion solutions, tailored technical proposals and commercial quotations to client operational requirements, and coordinated with internal technical teams ahead of client presentations. Before that, as a Realtor, I built repeatable client relationships and used property pricing and market trends to guide sales strategy—sharpening my ability to combine trust-building with commercial execution.
