Stepping up to a challenge is an opportunity to prove your determination, overcome obstacles, and achieve your goals. Unafraid of a challenge, I leverage my self-starter mindset and bias for action to chase my ambitions and exceed expectations. As a national sales director, key point of contact, and potential agent, I’m a mover and a shaker – when I see something I want, I go out and grab it. I love people, and my positivity and enthusiasm are contagious. I’m social, outgoing, and a great conversationalist, yet I am also genuine and honest. These traits make me a natural and trustworthy salesperson. I stand by what I say, and I believe in my product, cutlery pouches, which offer a hygienic and cost-cutting solution for hospitality businesses, hotels, and hospitals. Always strategic in my approach, I have managed everything from purchasing, importing containers, payables and receivables, and multiple warehouse set-ups, to providing end-user support.I like working with people who care about others and the customer experience. A passionate cook myself, I love contributing to the act of bringing people together. This process involves wearing different hats, as the central contact in country (and for 10+ years the only employee!) I served many distributors and the 7 biggest hospitality companies in the country, all of which I won over.A hard worker I contracted and managed 3PL, set up agreements, oversaw distributors, allocated containers to warehouses, and pursued new business prospects. I’ve always been a doer, starting work at only 8 years old in my parents’ fish shops.For me, it’s about the big picture, the service to others. Dedicated to helping clients and distributors achieve their goals, my success template for Australia has been used across Europe. I have an eye for opportunity and the strategic know-how to transform an idea into reality.My upbeat nature extends outside of the office, too. I am very active and adore spending time outdoors. Someone who loves to have fun, I am the first person to take the mickey out of myself. I am also patient, deeply caring, and sensitive, which allows me to connect and communicate with others and form meaningful, long-term relationships.If you’re as passionate about people as I am, let’s connect.📧 Barbara@Kriketos.com 📱(+61) 417 777 876
