To whom this may concern
I recently got stuck overseas when COVID hit, and I could not get back to SA until recently, as I lost my job (couldn't do it from there), my house and car... everything. I am still trying to stay positive and get back on my feet as fast as possible. But, without a car, it is a challenge to find a sales position. All I am asking please is for you to please read below and have a look at my CV.
I don't need to go back into sales management, but anything to get me going again please. I am willing to relocate anywhere, and I am able to travel extensively at a moments notice.
I learnt a lot about myself when this happened, and I am a better person than before and stronger too.
As an accomplished all round Professional Sales Executive, my experience and passion for people aligns perfectly with exceeding customer expectations, and I believe I will make a valuable addition to any organization.
With more than 20 years' experience starting as a Sales Rep, to Key Account Manager, National Key Accounts and then Sales Management, I have acquired invaluable experience and talents. I am adept in prospecting, cold calling, professional relationship management, project management, marketing, market research and strategy implementation to increase market share. Moreover, while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate negotiation and planning abilities, I excel at exceeding business objectives on a consistent basis.
Personally, I am energetic, motivated, and passionate about what I do. Raised old school, values like integrity, honesty and discipline are very well instilled in me. I do not consider myself a salesperson, as I do not just 'sell' to my clients to make my target. My approach is to do a little research on their company - who they are, where they are going - their values etc, then I speak with a few different departments to find out if they are having any current issues. With all this information, I put together an actual solution for them which benefits the organisation. I find that gaining sales in this manner ensures longevity of the account and customer loyalty.
Please review my attached resume for additional details regarding my expertise and career achievements. People and sales are my passion, and consistent service excellence is my only option. So, after 20 years of sales experience, trial and error, mistakes, and testing every 'sure fire' method there is out there, I finally gained invaluable and diverse experience in my field. This is how I know I will be an asset to any team.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
