Summary:
I have been working within the Digital Creative Team at Salt since January, where I have been building my universe in Client Services (Project Managers / Directors, Account Mangers / Directors etc.). I love working with my candidates and clients, as I learn about current trends within their sector, and I feel I can keep them informed of changes throughout the wider digital market. I have matched a number of candidates to suitable clients and so far every candidate has had an extension on their contract.
Prior to joining the creative team I was Account Managing the CAPITA account for the contract team in Salt. I delegated roles from various government departments to the different specialist teams, worked on some of the roles myself, and managed the entire end to end process.

I have taken on a number of roles from new and existing clients with salaries with a wide salary ranges from £20k - £100k.

Summary:
I became the Lettings Manager in 2011 and gained a lot of experience dealing with high end properties and multiple Landlords, listening to their needs and constantly assessing the marketing of their property and general running of an office. I believe that motivation and communication are key to a good working environment and that is then passed on to our applicants and Clients.
In my first year as Lettings Manager I achieved the highest conversion from valuation to instruction rate in the company of 78%, and by the end of the year we had our best ever month in Hampton Hill with an increase of £30, 500 from 2010.
My final year (2012) was successful from the hard work that we put in the previous year and with the backing of the company to implement Ideas, we had had another record year with an increase of £24, 500 on 2011.
From the time of joining Chase Buchanan I gained a lot experience in the sales sector and in particular the Lettings industry. In 2008 I took and passed my ARLA exam which then led to me gaining promotion to Senior Lettings Negotiator in our St Margarets branch. Following a successful period in St Margarets I was asked to become Lettings Manager in the Hampton Hill branch.
Overview:
• Achieving and exceeding targets set by the Managing Directors.
• Liaising with Landlords and keeping them up to date with the marketing of their property.
• Planning and setting out targets for each day in a morning meeting.
• Valuing and taking on properties.
• Creating tasks to follow up potential Landlords.
• Calling through a database to attract new clients to our company.
