Highly motivated and able to adapt to any role I always give a high level of service both before, during and after the sales process. Relationships are key in this industry and I like to build these up as quickly as possible as this is what drives the sales process. I am also highly consultative to clients I work for and always look for additional ways of generating revenue. I work out of a professional office as opposed to home too.
In my spare time I like to spend it with my family and interests include classic cars, music, reading, socialising and generally enjoying life.
