Summary

Are you looking for a leader to drive your business forward, go against market trends and deliver results? Or do you have the management side taken care of, and you just need a closer? A go-getter, a hungry-to-win salesperson, that's demonstrated results over and over?

Look no further! 18 years of sales under my belt, and every year I feel myself getting hungrier for more, whether it's building a team and watching us grow and hit targets, or, more recently, in the sales rep role, doing it alone and focusing solely on selling and seeing the rewards that can come from my focus. I truly feel I'm built for sales in any industry or role, and my record speaks for itself.

Recently I have been focused on winning electrical projects, growing customers in the wider region (levin and Porirua), attracting new customers from our competitors and expanding our market share in solar, civil and safety.

I'm charismatic, energetic, and I bring a lot of positivity to a team.

Currently, I'm looking for the next opportunity to sink my teeth into. I'm also a father of three beautiful kids, which means I really value my time and energy, so I value working with like-minded go-getters!

Given the opportunity id love to discuss what value I can bring to your business, and what fulfilment you can bring to mine.
