Daniel Chapman
Summary
A business graduate with a First-Class Honours degree, I have consistently gravitated towards people-facing and commercial roles throughout university and my early career. During my corporate tech sales placement in London, I gained B2B experience engaging C-suite decision-makers, developing my consultative selling approach and relationship management with senior stakeholders. Alongside university, I worked with premium brands including Everton FC, Liverpool FC and Chester Racecourse, managing high-value client relationships and delivering exceptional customer experiences. In summer 2024, I launched an events business in Spain, achieving 35% growth from the previous year. At university, I served as Social Secretary at Liverpool John Moores, organising events and selling 1600-2000 tickets each Tuesday for students.
Since graduating, I have started my career as a Sales Executive in car finance, opening and closing multiple deals daily and quickly establishing myself as one of the top performers during the academy process. I'm a confident communicator who enjoys public speaking; I was selected to present my dissertation at the House of Commons to a cohort of people including MP's. I am naturally competitive, always looking for ways to improve and gain marginal advantages, and I perform best when working towards goals and targets I have internally set.
