I'd initially started my career in sales in 2011, as a Sales Consultant for Vodafone NZ. After many years of perfecting my sales techniques and exceling within the role, I'd quickly realised that this was an industry in which I was passionate about and one that I could see myself in, in the long-haul.
This determination led me to my next challenge in 2014, of being able to lead and empower my very own team within the same organisation. I'd driven the success of a large, unparalleled and effective Sales team(s), who ultimately paid a major contribution, towards the profitability and sustainability of Vodafone. From 2016, I'd been promoted to take the reins over the Retention Team, whose focus was to retain the customer database of Vodafone NZ and oversaw the retention/diffusing of any difficult scenarios/complaints that were escalated through to us.
2019 was the year I decided to move on from my longstanding employer, and I'd taken on a new opportunity as a Sales Operations Team Leader, within a NZ owned IT Firm, The Instillery. This role focussed on the Procurement sector of the industry, where I was able to lead and drive an effective team who were in high demand and contributed towards the operating rhythms of a fast-paced organisation.
Due to the impact that Covid 19 has had on our Organisation, as well as every other company I'm sure, it was within The Instillery's best interest, to disestablish my role. This has ultimately led me to this exciting new opportunity, to seek out my next challenge. Due to my vast background in Sales Management, I know what it entails to lead and enhance, an environment in which my people can grow and feel empowered.
The Instillery group ltd (previously known as OriginIT) encountered challenges in their sales environment, specifically around procurement and inside sales processes.
During my time here, my focus was to observe, understand and initiate action plan/s of how to improve current workflows and highlight key areas of opportunity for more revenue . Main factors were due to high shrinkage volumes and education around processes and systems. During my time here I've taken the opportunity to champion my way through their CRM systems and assisted in properly documenting and closing any knowledge gaps the team had.
Completed an analysis on opportunities vs previous months and comparing data to identify how we can maximize on opp revenue.
