What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am Pieter Georg du Plessis, a dedicated BDR/SDR with extensive experience in lead generation and appointment setting across various industries. My career spans over two decades, during which I have honed my skills in sales and client relationship management. I have successfully generated leads and set appointments for companies like Softwerx and FullFunnel, utilizing tools such as LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Salesforce to drive results.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to adapt to changing market conditions and client needs. My role as an Account Executive at Accountability involved selling web-based services to protect businesses from outstanding payments, where I generated my own leads and maintained client relationships through follow-up calls and online demos. I take pride in my ability to tailor solutions to meet unique client requirements, ensuring satisfaction and long-term partnerships.
