A confident, pro-active and highly successful area sales manager / merchandiser/ Business Developer with over 20 years experience of growing accounts and maximizing sales through regional and national retailers. Utilizing my strong skills in building rapport and negotiation, I've promoted retail and wholesale sales of products, ensuring full product lines are available, monitoring quality control and carrying out product training along with creating new accounts and selling in display systems via cold and warm calling. In terms of my most recent key achievements, I've maintained 185 customers over 27 postcodes and have placed and leased 213 high value display concepts since 2010 and was the only promoter in 2013 renewal campaign to achieve 100% success within the deadline permitted. My 100% renewal contracts has been a continuing trend over the last 3 years.
