In Conclusion

Energetic, Enthusiastic, Positive.

I believe my strengths lie in client liaison, problem solving as well as Sales and an ability to create relationships with clients hence obtaining loyalty from them. I thoroughly enjoy working with clients and resolving all matters to a satisfactory state, not only from a client perspective but also with a profitable outcome for the company. I find nothing more satisfying then seeing a previously irate client become a very happy client. I also enjoy assisting colleagues where I can and do my bit in creating a harmonious working environment. I am a fast learner and believe I would be an asset to any company willing to give me the chance to prove myself.
