Founder

Mar 2021 - Mar 2022
I have a core entrepreneurial spirit and after saving up some money I decided to create my own small business - a Taco truck and Mexican street food brand - Tacoff. The brand has successfully operated at several markets and catering events across Pretoria and Johannesburg, feeding many spirited humans and establishing a loyal following and ‘fans’ owing to the outstanding food, friendly vibe, and on-point marketing efforts. A pure passion project that has taught me all the ins and outs and challenges of establishing and administering a business from the ground up. Show less

Door to Door Salesperson
-
Apr 2018 - Nov 2020
Closed over 500 contracts, generating circa $1.3 million of revenue for the business. I spent three Canadian summers working door to door sales across Atlantic Canada. This job required a lot of self-motivation, daily discipline, tenacity, people skills, and constant learning. I learned the power of creating genuine human connection and how listening and understanding clients needs ensure you’re able to guide them to the best possible solution. I learned how to stay motivated after countless rejections and how to always take a positive learning experience from each interaction. Show less
