Sales Specialist

2018 - 2021
Due to a rapid increase in the price of tissue and Polyethylene, the company had lost many regular customers prior to my arrival. Due to my broad and diverse skill set in sales, marketing, and management, as well as my willingness to improve job performance through self-evaluation, skill development, training, and goal setting, I began as a Sales Specialist. In addition to the double-walled envelopes, we developed disposable waterproof tablecloths and medical bed linens for the company. - Collaborated with a team of three sales professionals to develop strategies for retailers, restaurants, clinics, and hospitals; established rapport with customers and accurately assessed their needs to make recommendations and upsell in order to achieve sales goals; and encouraged the rest of the sales team to maintain this level of excellence. - Successfully won back the most valuable clients, such as the Hani chain restaurants, in addition to offering customized, logo-printed disposable tablecloths and increased the wholesale tablecloth and envelope nationwide. - Reduced the sales cycle workflows and ensured that quotations and invoices were sent on time, allowing the business to accomplish its targets in terms of sales, leads, and customer satisfaction surveys with remarkable consistency. - Rapidly attained an in-depth comprehension of products, value proposition, and positioning; initiated outbound efforts by developing a strategy based on the financial characteristics of target prospects; researched customer demands, established influential relationships with prospects, and generated qualified leads along the sales funnel. - Managed the complete sales process from lead generation through account maintenance, followed up on product quality and processed inbound products, and developed a loyal customer base by providing excellent pre-sale and post-sale service that was prompt and responsive to both existing and potential customers.
