My role at Computacenter comprised of a number of key areas in facilitating the sales process to ensure its swift and successful completion. My key focus was customers in the Industry and Commercial verticals to ensure an exceptional level of service to help nurture and grow their business. In this position my role encompassed:- working within strict, monitored SLAs;- sourcing pricing and preparing quotes via product overview and product management;- processing orders including, delivery management, bid management and deal registration;- managing relationships between the customer and Computacenter on a daily basis along with the ongoing relationships with our channel partners;- various forms of reporting and forecasting for internal and external use;- account refresh and nurturing to make immediate improvements for customers seeking change;- technological advice for end-user and workplace projects;- managing client product lifecycle, selection and transition processes;- RFP management from a supply chain perspective;- invoice query resolution;- maximising customer savings while simultaneously increasing pipeline contribution.As always, I strived to exceed expectations and ultimately deliver above and beyond the baseline with a combination of pro-activeness, empathy, personal benchmarks and diligence.

When the position became available, I jumped at the chance to take on a full-time Sales role. I have whole-heartedly embraced the position and look forward to client-facing meetings to discuss their requirements and the options available. I pride myself on clarity and transparency in my Sales approach, as well as an ability to talk to clients on a variety of technical levels. I am able to develop rapport quickly and have a keen passion for, as well as knowledge of, the products and services I sell.I work closely with the Projects, Marketing and Support departments to ensure proposals are delivered on time, so I am no stranger to successfully working within a team.Finally, as a rule of thumb, I do not believe in doing anything unless I can do it to the best of my abilities. I approach all work with due diligence and do not feel content with leaving work without completing my tasks. Hence, it is rare that you will see me heading home on time.Key Achievements* Significant contribution to 33% improvement in Bright’s Sales performance in Q4 2011.* Generating approx 53% of company revenue from November 2011.* Bringing in the company’s 4th largest contract as well 15% of all existing contracts.* Receiving a new iPad (iPad 3) for exceptional sales performance.

My original role at Bright began with supporting the Sales team by managing the Sales process. Specifically this meant: - fielding the incoming Sales calls; - consequently organising meetings for the Sales team; - drafting proposals as well as liaising with the prospective client to close the deal; - and account management to ensure a positive working relationship and continued opportunities for Sales.After approximately 4 weeks in the role, I was asked to take on the procurement responsibilities while continuing to support the Sales team. The additional responsibilities included: - liaising and negotiating with the company's suppliers for the best prices; - developing and pricing the specification for new Server and Hardware builds; - due diligence to ensure profit margins are maintained; - and general internal and external purchasing.I continued to learn and develop my Sales abilities in due course over the next few weeks as I began to join the Sales team at client meetings. I was very keen to make the step up and was fortunate to be given the chance when the then Sales Manager left the company.
