Merchandising
Nestle (March 2007-April 2008)
During my role as Territory Sales Executive a key factor was positioning on the fixture within the local retailers shop. Merchandising to catch the consumers eye was extremely important as confectionary is likely to bought on impulse. Working in such a competitive market with the likes of Mars and Cadburys, I had to be forward thinking to make sure I had the best possible positions and stood out to catch the eye of the consumer.

Presenting
ETM Marketing (2005) 'Talk Talk' door to door sales
During my field sales role for ETM Marketing presenting my pitch was the the most important aspect of the job. Potential customers would tend to buy from the individual person rather then the actual product. It was important to always be friendly and clear when delivering my pitch, highlighting all the benefits. Appearence was also a key factor, by looking smart and respectable it gave me more credibility and confidence to close the sales.
