With over 5 years of work experience, I have gained valuable insights into sales, customer service, and I am currently expanding my knowledge in marketing. Coming from a legal background, that supported my learning foundation I have supported more than 7 businesses with their marketing and business planning needs. In 2020, I ventured into entrepreneurship and also completed a business course with the National Youth Development Agency of South Africa. Two years ago, I transitioned into international sales as a Sales Development Representative for PlumGuide, working with Growth-hub, a company with a net worth of 25 million dollars. Since then, I have honed my skills in software sales, data analysis, copywriting, recruitment sales, sales psychology, and strategy. Recently, I have broadened my expertise to include customer service, making me well-equipped for the entire sales cycle. I am proficient in various tasks such as strategic account management, outreach, lead generation, profile screening, presentations, proposals, and more. In customer service, I excel in empathy, communication, adaptability, and problem-solving. While my marketing skills are still developing, I am skilled in copywriting, content creation, social media marketing, networking, analytics, email marketing, and graphic design. I have collaborated on marketing projects with medium to large enterprises in South Africa and I am eager to take on new challenges in this field. My rates in marketing are competitive, and I am ready to deliver exceptional results for your projects.

Greetings, and thank you for visiting my profile! I've spent my entire professional career in sales and business development, and it's where I thrive. Building meaningful relationships, connecting with people, and creating value through trust and collaboration are at the core of what I do best. I’ve had the privilege of working in international markets, particularly in Singapore and Dubai, where I’ve developed strong relationships with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and delivered results across diverse cultures and industries. What drives me is people-whether it’s my family, friends, colleagues, or clients. I believe real success comes from genuine connection, consistent effort, and doing work that matters. I’m currently exploring new opportunities and excited to connect with like-minded professionals, companies, and teams. Looking forward to meeting you.

I’m a Business Development and Account Management professional with over 10 years of sales experience, primarily in the tech sector but also spanning industries like real estate, events, and marketing. My focus is on building real relationships and closing high-value deals—not just making hundreds of calls all day everyday. If you're looking for someone to represent your business professionally, land hard-to-get clients, and drive real revenue, I'm your go-to. What I offer: Targeted cold outreach (not volume-based telesales) Strategic market research and lead qualification End-to-end sales account management Professional sales decks & presentations Discovery calls, demos, and sales meetings High-ticket closing (deals up to $500,000) I’m best suited for clients who need a trusted sales partner, not just a call center approach. Whether you’re entering a new market or scaling an existing one, I bring the experience and tact to open doors and close deals that matter.
