(Key) Account Management Customer Relationship Building & Retention Sales Management Cold Calling & Lead Generation Notable Accomplishments in Previous Roles: *Achieved a cumulative revenue of over €60 million during my tenure at Informa Markets/UBM Plc. (later acquired by Informa). *Successfully introduced three new country pavilions to the inaugural CPhI virtual exhibition at Informa Markets, resulting in more than 65k in revenue. This achievement was particularly significant as it was the first virtual CPhI exhibition, necessitated by the pandemic, and no country pavilion sales were initially forecasted due to long decision making process/sales cycle. *Consistently boosted annual repeat business by an average of 16% while working at Informa Markets/UBM Plc. *Earned two consecutive promotions at UBM Plc. within just six months, primarily due to exceptional lead conversion rates and a demonstrated ability to increase repeat business. *Secured the first-ever Turkish client for Chipsource, marking a historic milestone for the company. *Secured the initial sponsorship sale for the startup IBDG, subsequently generating €60k in revenue in a challenging sales environment. Notably, this achievement occurred in an environment with limited computer resources shared among multiple salespeople and high turnover rates. Attained the "Employee of the Month" distinction consistently throughout my tenure at IBDG. *Substantially grew business from Turkish clients at Chempoint, a wholly owned subsidiary of Univar, with the added distinction of hosting multiple visits from Turkish clients, a previously uncommon occurrence due to the company's focus on phone sales and marketing. Why Work With Me? Proven ability to drive sales and revenue growth. Extensive experience in client management and key account nurturing. Multilingual capabilities to enhance cross-cultural interactions. A strategic thinker who thrives on challenges and innovative solutions. A commitment to excellence and delivering exceptional results.
