Acquired a set of skills ranging from time management, teamwork, and meeting daily targets under strict deadlines. It demanded both discipline and physical endurance as i had to walk for many hours to allow for maximum coverage of leaflet distribution.

Taught me how to step outside my comfort zone by knocking on doors and pitching products face-to-face. Each door was a different experience as people responded in different ways depending on their mood or circumstances which instilled patience, adaptability and emotional intelligence. Working on a commission-only basis sharpened my resilience, self-motivation and ability to handle rejection positively. Further grasped the importance of presentation, from how I stood, spoke, and expressed myself using tone and body language in order to build trust and capture interest which helped in learning how to influence, persuade and adapt to different people.
Developed a strong sense of organizational, communication, and digital skills. Responsibilities involved handling schedules for clients, handling correspondence, maintaining records and contributing to the smooth flow of day-to-day operations with accuracy and efficiency.

This role enhanced my attention to detail, problem solving abilities and professionalism, while teaching me the importance of confidentiality, reliability and how the behind the scenes of a business operates.
