Senior Sales Executive

• Sep 1998 - Dec 2009

Rutland Radio started broadcasting on 13th December 1998. I was part of the launch team and first original Field Sales Executive. I was completely responsible for generating airtime and sponsorship campaigns for local businesses. Prior to the launch day, I spent 3 months visiting, persuading and achieving sales orders from brand new customers to Rutland Radio. I was officially selling them fresh air, as I had nothing to show them or allow them to tune into! The Radio station launched and was a huge success. After 3 years, I was promoted to Assistant Sales Manager working alongside the Sales Manager. I was responsible for motivating the Sales Team, planning daily & weekly targets. Doing forecasts & budgets. I had a happy 12 years working for Rutland Radio and the Lincs Fm group.
