Advised clients on suitable mortgage and protection products in alignment with their financial situation and individual needs.

I led a team of mortgage brokers and financial advisors in the Grampian region. Developed sales strategies, trained and motivated staff to achieve goals and grew the company from 3 advisors to 12 and revenue exceeding targets every year.

Initially I was part of a team of "dreaded" double glazing salesmen, selling windows and conservatories in the Grampian area. After a number of hugely successful years, in large part down to the quality of training in both product and direct sales given by CR Smith, I was promoted to sales manager and led a team of sales people, winning numerous awards and accolades along the way.

Employed as a production coordinator, I swiftly moved on to becoming a sales representative, offering the company's range of products to supermarkets, and food retailers. I received promotion due to producing target beating sales figures, and became the company's youngest ever sales manager, covering the London and south east England area.
