• - Develop and implement a long‑term B2B strategy to expand Cultural Care’s presence in Italy.
• - Conduct consultative sales calls with schools and institutions, offering tailored support and building lasting relationships.
• - Provide excellent customer service and maintain ongoing partnerships to ensure sustainable growth.
