What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, ideally in a collaborative environment where I can leverage my sales expertise and contribute to team success.

I am a dedicated professional with over 7 years of experience in sales, customer service, and business development. My journey has equipped me with strong communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to excel in various roles. I pride myself on my excellent work ethic, punctuality, and self-motivation, always maintaining a positive attitude.

In my most recent role as a Project Coordinator at Maglin Site Furniture, I utilized Salesforce to manage projects from the initial quoting stage to production. I collaborated closely with Territory Managers and other departments to ensure a positive client experience, handling 60-80 emails daily and completing a sales training course focused on Purposeful Sales Strategies. My previous roles have further honed my skills in lead generation and client acquisition, where I consistently exceeded targets and built strong relationships with clients.
