Regional Sales Manager - North
-
Jul 2004 - Nov 2008
One of my significant achievements at K&N's was playing a key role in turning the company from a loss-making venture into a profitable and market-leading entity in the processed chicken industry. I planned and launched a chain of company-operated outlets throughout the North region in addition to third-party retail and food service businesses, starting from almost zero. Furthermore, I developed and groomed a team of young professionals to handle various functions in sales, marketing, and distribution, ensuring the smooth operation of the business.As the Regional Sales Manager at K&N's, my key responsibilities included overseeing all sales and marketing activities and increasing the market share of frozen products. I was also responsible for assigning and dispensing credit policies, ensuring their timely collection, and addressing any problems that arose on a daily basis. Additionally, I monitored and expanded the company-operated outlets, developed and operated the retail and institutional business, and ensured proper ordering and distribution of processed and value-added chicken products across the market. I also had the unique idea of brand activation through food tasting kiosks and participating in exhibitions and organizing events to boost brand promotion, which I executed very well. Lastly, I handled outdoor media buying and coordinated marketing activities in the region. Show less
