  Innity

  Mar 2018 - Apr 2020

  At Innity, my role was multifaceted. I managed three large agencies (Mediacom, Havas, and Dentsu) and various smaller agencies. I built relationships with key decision-makers and fostered those relationships diligently, consistently generating average gross profits 29% above my monthly target with high client satisfaction. I was the top salesperson in Q1'19, Q2'19, and Q4'19 and also the top salesperson that year. Although my performance was measured by individual effort, I always saw my success as a team effort because I relied on the support of my fellow sales managers to get through challenging sales periods and vice versa. In 2019, we achieved the highest revenues of Innity Singapore, and I was a large part of the team's success, with 129% of my target completed that year. I was recognized for my hard work and success, showed leadership capabilities, and was promoted from Sales Manager to Senior Sales Manager.Part of my responsibilities was establishing relationships focused on long-term business growth, a handy skill across many industries. I nurtured my accounts and grew business from all my agencies. I collaborated with internal teams and upper management to implement continuous improvements and exceed team goals, and I maintained up-to-date knowledge of competitor products and pricing. Ultimately, all this led to me exceeding sales quotas through cross-selling additional products and acquiring a proper understanding of my customers and their business needs. Show less
