Results-driven sales professional specializing in consultative selling and client relationship growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven sales professional with proven experience building strong client relationships and consistently exceeding sales targets. I combine consultative selling with product and market knowledge to deliver tailored solutions across diverse markets.
My background includes direct sales and customer service roles in renewable energy, telecom financial services, and insurance, where I developed strengths in negotiation, communication, and problem-solving. I am adaptable and resilient, able to handle rejection and shifting market conditions while maintaining focus on goals.
At Greenlight Planet I sold solar solutions, collaborating with technical teams and explaining ROI and financing options to customers. In prior roles at Airtel Money and Jubilee Insurance I provided customer service, promoted financial and insurance products, and maintained long-term client trust.
I hold a diploma in aeronautical engineering and a diploma in technical education, and I bring strong time-management, CRM, and market-research capabilities. I am fluent in English and Swahili and available to start immediately.
