Summary

I am a Business and Management graduate from the University of Kent (2:1) with a proven track record in sales and business success. My experience includes securing multi-million-pound contracts as a Bid Coordinator at Randstad and delivering tailored client services as an independent insurance broker. In the motor trade, I consistently achieved an average of 113% to target and excelled in upselling, achieving a 60% penetration in selling insurances and finance products. With strong communication skills, a passion for learning, and a tenacious approach, I’m now focused on transitioning into tech as a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive success in a dynamic and innovative industry.
