Saleh Abureziq
@salehabureziq
Senior sales and business development leader who builds partnerships and drives revenue through strategic planning and execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior sales and business development professional with a track record across multiple trading sectors, combining strategic planning, sales planning, and brand management to grow profitable opportunities. I’m known for negotiating “groundbreaking alliances” and turning relationships into repeat business.
As an Owner / Freelance Tour Operator, I manage the end-to-end client journey for inbound and leisure tourism—handling inquiries, pricing, bookings, payments, and post-trip follow-up. I design customized leisure itineraries and coordinate hotels, transportation, guides, and activities while maintaining a network of local suppliers for competitive rates and consistent service.
In leadership roles, I’ve led sales teams and built new channels by identifying and evaluating new markets and clients. I develop sales forecasting and budgeting, analyze opportunities with competitor benchmarking, resolve client payment issues, and maintain strong customer relationship management.
I’ve also owned full commercial outcomes, including responsibility for P&L, and represented businesses at conferences, trade fairs, and networking events. I support growth through proposals and presentations, RFPs/tenders responses, cold outreach, lead generation, and clear reporting to management.
