  Celebration Homes

  • Perth WA

  • New Home Sales Consultant

    • Jul 2015 - Jun 2018
    • Perth WA

    This was an amazing role helping people to improve their life through new home ownership in their desired location with Perth's premium home builder. The ABN group created the Celebration Homes brand to service new home buyers seeking quality and value for money. Typically clients were at the higher end of the first home buyer market, investors, people relocating to Perth from overseas and second or third home builders. At Celebration Homes I pursued my interest in residential home construction and broadened my understanding of sales and sales skills. I consider the ABN Group as the market leader with Celebration Homes representing the best value in a competitive market. I enjoyed great training and development in a challenging role that allowed me to build on my existing skills, knowledge and building experience. In this role I developed skills in: - Rapport Building- Helping clients determine their wants and needs- Differentiating between features and benefits- Qualifying and determining a clients capacity to meet their expectations- Managing expectations - Contract negotiation - BCA & Design Guideline Compliance - Design & Estimating - Reporting - FinancingThe team, training and development at Celebration Homes are second to none and I'll always be appreciative of my time and the people their. This was a job I absolutely loved but unfortunately I found that the typical work hours (weekends & evenings) required to be successful were not compatible with the having young children and the family life my wife and I wanted.

Services include - Design, Procurement, Installation, Relocation, Refurbishment, Maintenance and Management.As GM, I assisted the MD in day to day operations. I was engaged to use my mining industry network to build the client base and develop opportunities and due to the softening mining construction market, I was also developing diversified revenue streams. I am proud I was able to provide core and alternative business revenue that helped Grounded in a tough time. As a new business in a soft market, I understood that minimising overheads was a requirement to keep trading and we parted ways by mutual agreement. As Grounded’s core market returned, they have experienced significant growth and with our relationship intact, I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with Grounded in various capacities via other employment.
