Over 25 years diverse experience in sales,customer service and business development in both the retail sector and business to business has seen me in various roles,from team management and training,commissioning the opening of new stores through to being a key player in significantly adding to companies' client base.The retail sectors include the areas of Arts & Crafts,Health & Wellness and FMCG,while on a B2B level I have successfully challenged myself selling Cloud based technology,winning and maintaining key accounts within the non FMCG sector.My current role in the business coaching world has enabled me to draw and extend on my acquired skills to help business owners fulfill their dreams and build the business they imagined.With an extensive sales background and a proven track record of meeting and exceeding budgets and other KPI's I have enjoyed the various regional management roles that I have held and the opportunities of mentoring and positively influencing sales teams to enhance productivity and retail performance.My highly developed communication skills and my genuine interest in people allow me to quickly and easily build a rapport with individuals at any level and in turn enable me to be influential in negotiations.Having an ability and desire to learn new things easily and readily has enabled me to successfully adapt in various areas of the retail and non-retail world.Being in a business partnership for over 15years I have acquired a solid business acumen and a strong appreciation for networking and the importance of building and maintaining good long term business relationships.My work ethics are simple and consistent,whether as an employee or as a business partner,and that is,tackle every task to the best of my ability,keep an element of fun in my work,look at every challenge as an opportunity to grow and continiously network to build good relationships.
