I hit my highest target 5 out of the 6 months of being with the company and was also the top seller numerous months. I had to complete quotes and sales order forms in the company’s accounts system. - Customer Relationship Management: I ensured that each customer’s specific interest, requests, needs, and credit limits were recorded in the system. This ensured a smooth sales process from order to delivery. - Team Promotion Communicator: Everyday I would update the sales team with the newest products, prices, and deals so that they could hit daily targets. - Marketing/Mailshots: I had the responsibility of promoting products to merchants by advertising via email and face-to-face. - Buying: I calculated the best price for the company and then negotiate with suppliers in order to get the best deal.
