Work History
Sales Executive
EcoSolution, Windows, doors & More
Nationwide
05.2023 - 12.2023
- I achieved many of my goals while working with EcoSolution, and exceeded my own and the owners expectations. It was definitely the most gruelling occupation I've experienced to date and I enjoyed every minute of the challenge.
- My days consisted of being on the road, meeting with clients to discuss projects and secure the sale. I worked 12+ hours everyday, 6/7 days a week. This job was the most demanding I had experienced to date, but I woke up motivated every morning.
- I adapted to my new environment very quickly. I went from sitting at a desk, working 9-5 to being on the road, face to face with clients, morning until night. I feel even more comfortable dealing with customers directly.
- In my first month with EcoSolution, I was the highest earning sales executive they've hired in their first month. I achieved 70k+ sales in my first 30 days. In my third month, I made the biggest sale in the company's history. It was an extension for a huge home worth over 100k+.
- I achieved all this with little to no training. I went from selling phone plans, to designing and selling extensions & conservatories. I had no experience in home and building designs but through applying myself and determination, I picked it up very fast and immediately started selling large projects, through my own personal deigns and pitching them to my customers.
- I developed and implemented sales strategies to meet customer needs and increase revenue.
- Developed pricing strategies that maximized profits while remaining competitive in the market.
- Implemented processes for cross-selling products or services based on customer needs.
- Sourced new sales opportunities through inbound lead follow-up.
- Negotiated terms of sales agreements and developed contracts to successfully close sales.
- Worked closely with other construction companies to sub contract work when needed to provide the best customer experience in a timely manner.

This generates over 20 million euro in revenue for Three yearly.
- I also secured a massive deal with the "Irish national teachers organisation (170,000 members). This deal has the potential to increase Three's revenue by over 73 million euro each year.
- I communicate with An Gardai Siochana head office on a regular basis. I send them reduced monthly offers for each staff member to avail of. This generates over 5+ million euro in revenue for Three each year.
- I also have B2B sales experience by targeting several charities across the ROI and offering them the cheapest price plans available across all Mobile Networks. For example, Saint Vincent de Paul, Tusla, PACT, and many more.
- Proven track record of exceeding monthly targets.
