• Sales Manager

  • Jun 2013 - May 2015

  Sales/ Recruitment manager – Whilst spending a working holiday year in Australia I started working as a sales representative for 6 weeks before being given the opportunity of team manager. Interviewing and training with new reps through presentations and demonstrating the company's history, how to be a successful representative and being an example by acquiring customers and breaking targets were my main duties. In addition, it was a door-to-door role for representatives therefore, I was required to be imaginative on a daily basis to motivate reps with incentives and competitions. I moved between two branches breaking records in both branches and successfully running my own team. Running of meetings, reporting to national managers, recruiting, interviews and training were my main duties to the later end of my employment. This role taught me how to work as a manager and lead a team successfully. I gained time management skills and great sales experience such as rapport building, body language, voice tonality, objection handling. Meeting my KPI's was part of my weekly target which would include, cleanliness, organisation, targets met and paperwork from myself and my team. Show less
