Summary
Most new people that I meet, tell me regularly that I am always smiling and have been given the name 'Smiler' on multiple occasions. This has really helped me in connecting with people generally, as they find me easy to approach.
Face to face selling is where I am most comfortable and effective. I have a friendly and professional manner who gets on and is liked by many. Reliability and Integrity are my core values that I am most passionate about.
Customer relationships are something that I hold in high regard. Maintaining ongoing client/business relationships has been a highlight in my career, in aiding client retention and recommendation.
I come with a can do attitude while also being attentive to customer's needs. This has seen me perform well in achieving targets throughout my career.
I have been out of the sales environment for a couple of years due to falling out of love with the motor industry. After trying a couple of different roles, I have come to realise that sales is a key skill of mine and it would be a shame to turn my back on it. I now have the passion to return to the industry but in a different sector.
