• A proven track record of winning new business, developing profitable customer relationships and managing opportunities through the full sales cycle.
• Confidence building relationships and negotiating with senior stakeholders, supported by strong communication and presentation skills.
• Experience using digital channels, social selling and proactive prospecting techniques to generate new business opportunities.
