Besides my active and constant commitment to Sales, I was invited and entrusted by the shareholders to take on the General Manager Position, in an effort to assist the company in solidifying its already strong bones, defining internal strategies to be always more efficient and competitive, and giving QP Savills all the right tools to maintain its status as the luxury market leader in the Country. Once all the Team and Structure were in place, it was time for me to focus solely again on Sales in a Senior position, generate some more revenue, and let QP Savills thrive with a now rock-solid Management, Administrative and Sales team & structure. My main tasks as a General Manager were:- Overseeing daily business operations;- Identifying areas of the business in need of improvement;- Developing and implementing growth strategies;- Creating and managing budgets;- Analysing accounting and financial data. Improving revenue, organizing the P&L;- Complete H.R & Admin Team structuration, focused on trusting and empowering the staff;- Implementation of regular performance and productivity reviews for all staff;- Promoting internal growth;- Researching and identifying business and brand growth opportunities;- Generating reports and giving presentations, leading meetings.
