About me

To whom it may concern,

A dynamic, motivated, enthusiastic and extremely ambitious saleswoman and account manager seeking a new challenge. Fluent in both French and Spanish, I have had ample experience in the sales, marketing, account management and customer service arenas. As a result of my teaching and management experience, I have also gained experience training and motivating students and staff to reach their full potential.

Having worked for Enterprise Rent a Car for three years; I received three promotions during my time with the company and achieved an array of accomplishments including the following:

- achieved Elite Club 9 out of 10 months whilst working as a Management Trainee (a reward system for the top 5 employees in the group of over 300 employees, ranked on sales and marketing achievements for the branch)

- As manager, received the group's annual fleet growth award, growing the fleet by 100% within a six month period. Largely due to developing and closing new business and nurturing existing accounts across all sectors.

- Within two months as manager, achieved profitability for the first time in its history and continued to make profit every month for the remainder of the time managing there. We were also ranked in the top 5 branches for profitability and fleet growth across the UK.

- Extensive account management to some large and demanding national accounts and on a more local level, nurturing existing accounts and finding new corporate business to achieve continuous fleet growth.

After this successful period in car rental, I made the decision to travel and consequently took a year out to travel the world, visiting Asia, Australia and South America before I returned to Brisbane, Australia to start a position within a marketing agency. First as a Business Analyst and then consequently as a Corporate Account Manager following a promotion, I continued to achieve and exceed challenging sales targets. By cold calling and canvassing, I generated my own new leads and closed new business with a consultative approach, carrying out online research and putting together proposals in order to present Simjen's portfolio of products which included; digital marketing solutions such as websites, search engine optimisation products, social media, branding, design, marketing strategies and print.

This role required a consultative sales technique by finding marketing solutions and business growth opportunities for small and medium sized businesses. The main aim was to gain and build long term relationships with clients by providing ongoing marketing and business strategies to assist them with growth. I attended weekly networking events in order to maximise my own personal growth and revenue within the company.

- During my time with Simjen, I closed over 50 new accounts and rejuvenated around 20 existing but inactive accounts.

-Managed some large and demanding accounts to maximise income and nurture repeat business.

Both positions required a strong push towards reaching monthly income, growth and customer service targets. I thrive from a dynamic sales environment whilst being highly organised, a great negotiator and an excellent self-motivator.

I have exceptional presentation skills with the aim of selling a service or product to existing and prospective clients to generate new business and ongoing growth.

Best regards
