  Sept 1999 - Jan 2002

  Customer Sales Advisor

  With the opening of a Multi Million pound call centre in Birmingham I would be working for the World’s largest mobile phone network. My sales role was within a team responsible for promoting additional company products to end business users. My industry knowledge proved a valuable asset in this role and my contribution to the team was greatly received. Excellent communication skills ensured a strong relationship developed between supplier and customer and that sales targets were over achieved. In 2001 the company made the decision to move the sales operation to its head office in Berkshire. I accepted a position in Technical support and was involved in the testing and launch of Vodafone’s GPRS system. Although the position was interesting and often rewarding, it was not challenging enough. I missed the buzz of the sale. Monthly targets consistently over achieved. Received four Customer Commendations for exceptional customer service. Passed 100% on the Vodafone Academy Module. Show less
