Remote Sales Representative at a publishing company, using Zoho CRM to track prospect follow-ups after nearly 500 client calls in her first month.
What I'm looking for
In my current remote Sales Representative role at a publishing company, I prospect and follow up with clients by phone and email. During my first month, I made nearly 500 client calls and used Zoho CRM to record prospects and maintain sales pipeline follow-ups.
At Travel Tannies, I built and operate an online Southeast Asia travel consultancy and community for travellers over 40. I respond to enquiries, guide prospective clients toward consultation services, and manage the community’s online channels and payments.
As Branch Manager at De Jagers Piketberg, I managed daily retail operations, staff, stock, administration, marketing and merchandising while working toward turnover targets. Earlier, I operated holiday-home cleaning services for local and international customers, leading a team of 12 and managing subcontractors.
