Sales Associate/Consultant

I was first employed on a temporary contract basis during a "SALES" period; hence I was retained after the sales due to my high level of competence, drive and passion and my ability of always completing task within a given time thereby surpassing my manager's expectations. Since then I played vital roles like being appointed to lead a team of great enthusiastic individuals, and reaching top targets when tasks were assigned.

For two (2) consecutive years, I was the highest employee in the whole region for getting and introducing customers to directory shopping with NEXT Directory, I was awarded incentives for surpassing targets. My customer service experience since then has relatively elevated, and now I can proudly say I am very good at dealing with customers of any temperament.
