I was hired to run a bespoke analysis project on the sales data of Colgate Palmolive products in independent pharmacies throughout the country, then leave them with a set of automated reporting tools to allow ongoing analysis after I had left. My analysis was used to identify areas of growth and decline, investigate the penetration of new products into market and many other metrics they asked to see. At the end of the project my recommendations on how to optimise sales was fed back to Colgate management and the managing director of the front line sales team.

Working in a small team to help operate the shop, I earned the value of being proactive to avoid encountering difficult situations involving our customers and the value of good customer service. This was a part-time job while at college.
