  Sea Trading Ltd.

  Oct 2017 - Jan 2018

  Sales Manager

  As a manager, I was responsible for ensuring the highest level of customer interactions and service to promote both sales and brand recognition. My tasks included brainstorming for business strategies which would lead to brand and product progression and the development and executing of plans to promote a new brand, NAKED, via newsletters and social media marketing. One of my first projects at the business was to clean up all previous accounting and filing of invoices and cheques, payments, deposits and statements by the company and provide a more seamless process for filing. I found a solution to the problem of producing duty-free receipts and was responsible for all filing duties as it pertained to duty-free protocols. Responsibilities also included NIS payments, cheque-writing, payslip production and end-of day reports. My aim as a manager was to create a well-rounded team within the company to ensure a pleasant and satisfactory customer experience all-around. I also support the idea that as a manager, my team on all levels is just as important to the productivity of any brand and I encouraged contributions and participation in any venture which I thought would benefit the company.

In my role as a client relations assistant, my daily tasks include efficiently responding to emails from clients wishing to book their colleagues and employees in our portfolio of apartments. This involves searching our portfolio for availability, formulating options in an attractive manner with graphics, text and knowledge based on client demand to best represent each option sent and successfully delivering this information to the client. I am also responsible for maintaining the client relationship beyond conversion to ensure they have a pleasant experience with our brand. My day-to-day can include any of the following tasks:- researching the best apartments to suit client needs and requests, arranging transfers and check-ins for guests, advising them on reservation protocols, answering client emails and dealing with client requests.

A lot of time is also spent on the phone speaking to both clients, guests and partners to discuss their requirements. This multi-faceted job requires maintaining excellent communication to all branches of the team and managing my time effectively. In my first few months at Portland Brown, I passed my probation period early and also achieved the award of ‘Rising Star’ for the year 2019. Since this, I have been successful in maintaining relationships and exceeding the expectiations of numerous of our clients. I was instrumental in maintaining the business of one of our biggest clients in 2019, and was subsequently personally acknowledged by their relocation manager as a result. Show less
