• Prepare and deliver persuasive presentations and proposals to potential clients, showcasing the company’s consultancy services.

Collaboration with Internal Teams

• Work closely with technical and operational teams to ensure alignment on project delivery and client expectations.
• Provide feedback to internal teams on market needs and client requirements to enhance service offerings.

• Demonstrated success in field-based sales or client acquisition, with the drive to meet clients face-to-face daily.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships at all levels.
• Strategic mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Proficiency in CRM software and Microsoft Office Suite.

Key Competencies

• Results-oriented with a focus on achieving goals and driving business growth.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong negotiation skills and the ability to influence stakeholders.
