Work history
Sales Executive / Sales Manager
Starlite Outdoor
Worcester
2021.08 - 2026.06
- After leaving my previous role, I was recommended for a position with a start up business as a Sales Executive, helping to grow the company and build its client base. After nearly two years with the business, I was promoted to Sales Manager. My responsibilities included:
- Contacting businesses across a range of industries to discuss billboard advertising opportunities and identify suitable marketing solutions
- Managing the full sales process, from generating leads and prospecting new clients through to closing deals and maintaining ongoing relationships
- Sourcing potential new billboard locations when required, negotiating with property owners and assessing locations for visibility and traffic levels
- Consistently meeting and often exceeding monthly sales targets, contributing to the company’s growth.
- Managing the company’s social media accounts, creating and scheduling content to increase engagement and generate new enquiries.
Sales Executive
Wildstone Build Ltd
2020.09 - 2021.08
- I was the top performing member of the sales team, consistently achieving the highest sales figures and securing a high volume of new business.
- My role involved finding and generating my own business opportunities, with the aim of securing long leasehold agreements or freehold purchases from property owners. I spoke with landlords on a daily basis, both over the phone and face-to-face, building strong working relationships and negotiating terms.
- A large part of the job was earning clients’ trust and giving them confidence in both myself and the company. Once terms had been agreed, I would work with all parties involved to see the deal through the legal process and ensure a successful completion.
Regional Property Consultant
Express Estate Agency
2019.08 - 2020.03
- Here I worked in a commission only sales role, meeting homeowners across the West Midlands who were either new to the property market or struggling to sell their home.
- Each day I attended up to five pre-arranged appointments, where I would assess and value properties, discuss the homeowner’s situation, and explain how our service could help them achieve a sale. My aim was to build trust, answer any questions, and secure new business for the company.
- Once an agreement was in place, I remained the main point of contact, keeping clients updated on progress and ensuring they were informed throughout the process.
- Unfortunately, my role came to an end due to significant changes within the business during the COVID-19 lockdown period.

2017.09 - 2019.08
- This was a B2C, face to face sales role in a knowledge based environment. It required strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport with customers from the initial introduction through to handover.
- I worked closely with colleagues, management, and the service team to put together the full sales package before closing the deal. Teamwork was a key part of the role, along with making sure customers felt informed and comfortable throughout the process.
Sales Executive
TradePages
Malvern
2016.09 - 2017.09
- I started this role through an apprenticeship scheme, working within the sales team for an online business directory. It gave me a solid introduction to the sales process and how to work with business clients.
- My day to day work involved cold calling businesses, finding the right decision makers, and pitching our directory service. I would explain the benefits of being listed with us and how we compared to other online directories, with the aim of generating new sign-ups.
