Summary

Since working as a junior sales executive, shadowing Business Partners, and industry networking with other like-minded people I have advanced into a highly dedicated, team-orientated, and results-driven professional that is eager to contribute my experience and skill set whilst prioritising customer satisfaction. I have obtained a proven track record of success in driving sales, cultivating client relationships, exceeding set targets, and developing effective influence, persuasion, and negotiation when articulating value propositions to customers. I am described as a natural communicator who can adapt my interpersonal skills to connect and build a strong rapport with individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries. I'm passionate about putting myself in the customers' shoes, demonstrating compassion, and being committed to resolving their queries. I have embraced the skill of employing proactive problem-solving to handle objections with professionalism by actively listening to address customer concerns with empathy and confidence which leads to navigating through objections, turning hesitant people into satisfied customers. Throughout continuous learning, I have developed several systems and strategies that I can not only apply in sales but execute in other industries too.


Working for a previous company, I had the opportunity to attend a reward and recognition networking event in Cardiff where several Business Partners and Owners indulged in different strategies, compliances, opportunities, and other business-related agenda which was beneficial for me as it gave me an insight into opportunity identification whilst motivating me to push beyond my usual efforts. Furthermore, it gave me the chance to engage with other compatible people that shared aligned visions forging fruitful relationships which boosted my confidence and approach while building my credibility.


With my expertise, a wide range of skills, and a willingness to learn approach, I believe with true confidence I am an ideal candidate to contribute to the growth and success of your esteemed organisation.

Work history

Junior Sales Executive

Katana Organisation
Leeds, West Yorkshire
06.2023 - Current

I have worked as a junior sales executive for Katana Organisation which is a part of BriteVox Limited who are a global direct marketing and sales company with 35 offices worldwide. I gained invaluable experience working alongside a Business Partner within a high-impact team delivering innovative and informative campaigns for different causes, services, and brands. I actively promoted and sold services to prospective customers across various marketing initiatives which include Sky, Uber, Virgin Media, Octopus Energy, Scope, and Leeds Hospitals Charity. My primary role involved icebreaking, interacting and empathising directly with 100-150 customers daily, explaining the value proposition, understanding their unique needs, overcoming objections, discussing certain problems then offering our personalised solutions, building sufficient rapport with them which included selling myself as an interesting individual they could relate to which resulted in some of them being closed and signed up proficiently. Moreover, I was responsible for breaking my days down within a team using analytics to track performance metrics, the effectiveness of strategies, and identifying areas for improvement which were helpful as they allowed me to forecast and plan the following days. I always kept my in-depth product knowledge up-to-date by attending training in business development meetings to deliver reliable information with confidence to customers and clients. Furthermore, I presented demonstrations and some systems training to a new trainee for a supportive onboarding experience, so he felt as comfortable and positive in our team as I first felt in an unaccustomed environment. Because of this, I learned the skill of contributing to an environment where colleagues want to work and where customers feel valued.

Warehouse Operative

Prior to this, I worked in a warehouse and retail environment. Working at Evri Warehouse and IPL allowed me to gain essential experience working in a fast-paced and busy atmosphere whilst developing the skill of meeting set targets. I picked, packed, and dispatched high-volume orders, consistently exceeding warehouse performance targets whilst storing products in appropriate storage areas to maximise space within the warehouse. This had given me a taste of the workload I will encounter in the near future and how to ensure effective productivity.

Outside of the work environment, I participate in boxing and compete in tournaments all across the UK representing the England Boxing Team. I have been training and upscaling my skill set since the age of 13 years old therefore it triggered a passionate interest and discipline from an early age. I have also been able to apply the particular qualities that I have developed from boxing to my work life or even when I am setting personal goals and objectives for myself.
