About Belinda Blom

I am a sales professional with 20 years experience in the FMCG industry. I have a proven track record of over achievement operating at board level both in the beverage and chemical industry. My experience and successes have been based on sales and revenue generation into the biggest volume retail groups.My responsibilities include managing this customer base while ensuring and building opportunities for future business development and revenue growth within the market. This includes the development of Business Plans for each customer I look after as each customer will have its own tailored service package. I have developed and increased volume in these chains both in a direct capacity and, with our regional merchandising team while I was in the liquor industry that was focussed on the sales and delivery of profitable volume for the customer and company. My positive attitude is my signature and always adapt the “can do” attitude.
