Summary

I’m a dedicated sales professional with hands-on experience at Mercedes-Benz, specialising in consultative selling, product knowledge, and building strong customer relationships. I have a solid track record of understanding customer needs and providing tailored finance options to deliver a premium experience. I’m skilled in negotiation and closing, advising on finance packages and add-ons, while keeping accurate CRM records. I’ve really enjoyed working at Mercedes-Benz Coventry, but I’m looking to stay with the brand while moving closer to home in Leicester—this is the only reason for the change. I’m committed to working as part of a team and achieving results, consistently meeting and often exceeding sales targets.
