Experience
Stewardess
Motor Yacht Ultra Vires
Male, Maldives
June 2016 - November 2016
• Taking the opportunity of a lifetime I was welcomed onboard Motor Yacht
Ultra Vires as sole stewardess. Although this role was vastly different from my
previous career choices I jumped at the opportunity to work onboard a Super
Yacht and grow my inventory of customer service from a new and different
perspective.
• Part of my daily activities incorporated turn ups and turn downs, house
keeping of entire interior of yacht, direct guest service and meal time service
as well as drinks, snacks and anything else I could assist with, laundry for
guests and crew, purchasing and budget forecasting for all food, products and
goods onboard the vessel, welcoming, briefing and debriefing of the guests
during each charter.
Key Account Manager
Fastnet
Century City, Cape Town
February 2014 - May 2016
• I was brought onto the team exclusively as a Wi-Fi sales agent when I first
began but I very quickly climbed the ropes within 6 months; I was then given
the opportunity to move into a corporate Key Account Management role.
Hereon I began selling Point of Sale, 3G Backup VPN, ADSL VPN and the
Internet of Things (IoT).
• Part of my role at Fastnet also required a strong relationship between myself
and various Telkom Key Account Managers in developing customer solutions
to take to market. Positioning of this relationship was key for Channel
opportunity optimization.
• My day to day activities within this position include following up on new
leads, direct customer liaison and negotiations, account management –
nurturing of each customer account, Key Account Plans(KAP’s), research and
development, technical solution designs with the assistance of a Solutions
Architect, creating, designing and facilitating the creation of marketing
material for customer use and perusal, up selling
and cross selling into existing accounts, customer retention, weekly reporting
and financial
forecasting, drafting of proposals, product presentations, CRM, fault
resolution and new business development.
• Fastnet truly opened many doors for me and has implemented an air of
confidence and professionalism in each endeavor I undertake.
Internal/External Sales Consultant
Conveyor Splicing Services
Johannesburg South
February 2013 - January 2014
• I began in an external sales position at Conveyor Splicing Services, a
company providing the supply and fitment of conveyor belt systems.
• My day to day activities within this position included: Site visits to the mines
– direct customer liaison, inspection of the belting systems for damage,
providing quotations for the manufacture and re-fitment of the conveyor
systems, problem / fault resolution, approaching new business leads and
customer relationship management within my existing customer base.
• From here I was able to move into the position of Internal Sales at Conveyor
Splicing Services, working alongside with the Sales Manager and the
Directors and managing the external sales force.
• Within this position my day to day activities were as follows: Providing
quotations for customers, procurement and costing, managing of external
representatives, processing call reports, customer retention, processing and
management of job cards, management of clocking file, handling tender
applications, invoice runs for customers, handling all customer queries/
problem resolution, technical customer liaison, coordination/management of

position at Fastnet’s Cape Town branch.
Administration Officer & Internal Sales
Vacuum Engineering Solutions & Technology
Johannesburg South
January 2009 - January 2013
• After successfully completing Matric I immediately began working for
VEST.
• Working for the family business was a great way in which to explore the
many different departments in a medium sized engineering business.
• • I began handling simple admin tasks, dealing directly with customers and
suppliers.
• Realising I had the knack for sales and customer liaison, I was placed into
an internal sales position. Here I was involved in the beginner processes of
the design of mechanical parts, making sure customer satisfaction was most
important – growing and managing existing accounts, to ensuring the end
product was nothing less than perfect. Liaising extensively with customers to
agree on product specifications, sale prices and lead times. It gave me the
chance to develop relationships with customers and understand the
importance of meeting deadlines.
• Early 2013 I felt it time to spread my wings and seek new opportunities
within the professional environment.
