Position: Sales Manager

English level: upper
Years of experience: 1.5


In a previous role, I was always looking for high-converting leads in which to pitch our services. I conducted some research using LinkedIn.com to source a number of organizations that I felt could benefit from our service.
    I spent some time researching one particular large organization and noticed they were not making use of a service like ours which could help them to significantly improve customer service delivery. I then reached out to their Finance Director on LinkedIn and spent time building up a relationship with her before suggesting we held a face-to-face meeting whereby I could explain our services. Prior to the meeting, I spent time considering the possible sales objections, so that I could demonstrate how effective our service would be for their business.
      At the end of the meeting, in which I presented an in-depth 30-minute presentation, the Finance Director agreed to try our product for a 6-month period. After the 6- month trial period was over, they agreed to renew the contract for a 3-year period, which was a massive success for our organization and made me one of the best Sales Managers to date. I am now willing to work with an open organization to help improve my sales strategy internationally.
