Moreover, I have ensured planned sales goals were met, promoted service excellence and managed conflict resolution initiatives. To realise the demands of my role, I have established understanding of customers and how they relate to the products. I also oversaw the activities and performance of the sales team, wherein I have monitored/tracked sales goals and reported results as necessary.Initially, I started as a Sales Manager at the Secondary Branch and moved to Main Branch back in January 2021. I have been called back form my previous employer to fill in Sales Manager job after the previous manager left due to business changes in Toyota network. Many top salespeople and managers had left across network and I have accepted the challenge to rebuild the team and adopt to new ways Toyota NZ brought to the business. Within less than a year and with less resources, my team achieved better numbers than before.
