Sales Consultant On joining Synthes I inherited the East Anglian region, which was under performing. By the end of 2000 I was almost successful in bringing the area in on target whilst achieving a growth of 22%, over the 1999 sales. These successes built a strong platform for the following year. In 2001 I finished the year at 133% achievement verses target, with a YTD growth of 66%. I continued to build on these successes by looking for new opportunities and broadening my client base in order to grow the business. 2002 saw a 44% growth above budget (67% YTD growth). The following 3 years demonstrated constant growth and development of both sales and territory.In 2004 I was promoted to Senior Sales ConsultantIn February 2006 I gained promotion to UK Country Product Manager, for the Spinal Business Unit..
