As part of sales leadership, I lead sales teams to identify profitable opportunities and create strategies that ensure business growth, increased team cohesiveness, and a stronger, happier customer base.
My approach is to closely analyze market trends, study competitor strategies, and design a first-move sales strategy to secure the competitive edge. I understand the importance of building strong and stable business networks and leverage my extensive FMCG experience to execute outside-the-box negotiation and trade marketing strategies.
For my team, I am the go-to person. I utilize both field initiatives and classroom training to keep up-to-date with best problem solving, negotiation, and route planning strategies. This is how I have maintained a culture of constant personal and team improvement during my time at Phillip Morris International.
Here are a few examples of how I have led my teams to deliver cutting-edge sales solutions
