Broomhill, Sheffield

I was employed by NatWest as a Senior Personal Banker at the Broomhill Sheffield Branch. This current role is a sales role, where my main responsibilities are seeing customers on a one to one appointment basis finding out all about their needs and goals before helping achieve their dreams with various products and services. In this position I have direct control over the service options and products that our customers use on a day to day basis and therefore have a significant influence over my branch meeting our customer service and customer outcomes targets. I have an excellent, extensive knowledge of all the products and services that we offer to our customers. To maintain a compliant and customer focussed sale I adhere to very strict rules and regulations that are part and parcel of working within a banking sales environment, and I implement regular changes and updates with relative ease as the banking industry updates and improves the way that we operate as a whole. In this role I work very closely with my team within the branch helping to coach and improve how we ultimately help our customers with their banking needs. I am relied upon to be a leader, as well as relying upon myself to be self-managed and I keep track of my performance closely to ensure that I continually overachieve in meeting my sales and service targets, as well as making sure my colleagues all meet their individual and collective objectives. I also work alongside a variety of colleagues within other areas of the business, such as Personal Mortgage Advisers, Protection Consultants and Private Banking Managers to generate new business to each of these areas while also having my customers and their families at the focus of everything I do. I am also a Designated Complaints Handler, which has provided me with new skills and resulted in positive feedback from my peers as well as customers.

Crawley, Uk

I was employed through the recruitment agency Office Angels to work at the Virgin Holidays Call Centre as part of the Resource Planning department. It was my responsibility to overlook the call centre, and ensure that the calls were being directed to the correct agents. I was often required to switch the sales agents' lines to be able to receive alternate calls, which in turn, would keep the number of lost calls down. I was left in charge of sending sales agents to product training when available, and authorising breaks. During the very busy winter months, I was also required to liaise with an outside company who were assisting with the volume of incoming calls, to ensure that they were being used to their full potential.

During my time in this employment, I worked very successfully as an individual and as part of a team, and I also improved my telephone skills and gained experience in a supervisory role.
