• Inside Sales Executive

  • Oct 2021 - Oct 2022

  The Inside Sales Executive role was positioned under the Account Managers, in a customer service team. A large percentage of the pipelines were short and required small amount account management. I was able to build the foundations and gain the experience to progress into the Account Manager position: • To help clients with enquiries, ranging from selling services, to providing project updates and raising quotes.• I have been able to achieve and excel in KPIs – e.g. Sending out a total value of £220k worth of quotes every month – I doubled the target multiple times.• I was account manager for 3 of our top 20 accounts, working closely with them on their main projects.• I know how to read situations and handle any difficult encounters, ensuring I am always providing a high level of customer service.• Understand smaller clientele and develop the relationship I had with them to grow our business. • I am a confident user of the CRM programme. • I handled several enquiry platforms: emails, phones, Live Chat and the company’s portal. I organised my time to ensure all platforms are covered. • I worked in a sub team of 3 and I trained the 2 other members. I was the go-to person to answer any questions/provide any help to my colleagues. Manager’s Award: August 2022 - This Award is in recognition of you effectively having to run/manage the ISE’s for a year after only just joining the team yourself at the time and therefore being seen as the most experienced in the team. You have managed without having a full team of 3, dealing with an incredible workload and challenging client situations. You have a fantastic proactive personality and have embraced and dealt with this challenging situation incredibly well. In addition, you have taken on the task of managing complex, sometimes multi-lab client projects with some of our largest clients, which one is now forecast to become one of RSSL top multi-lab Biotech.
