- Extensive experience in making outbound sales calls and successfully closing sales over the phone.
- Strong communication and negotiation skills to effectively engage with customers.
- The ability to thrive in a fast-paced sales environment, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
- A drive for sales success.
This is a great opportunity to work for a growing FMCG company who distribute products worldwide!
