Their recent work has included meeting prospects, preparing proposals and negotiating agreements, with regular responsibility for proposal writing and new business development. They are comfortable using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Excel and HubSpot, and are confident learning new systems when processes or reporting requirements change. Colleagues would describe them as process-minded, accurate and consistent, with a consistent focus on accuracy, follow-through and clear communication. One of their stronger recent contributions involved work that expanded into new markets, while they also contributed to initiatives that exceeded sales targets. They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue. The candidate is particularly strong in prospecting and relationship building, and tends to approach problems by understanding the detail first before deciding on a practical next step. They have also had exposure to technology, giving them a useful ability to adapt to different operating environments, systems and stakeholder expectations. They are now looking for a permanent role in a collaborative team. In their next move, more exposure to complex work is an important consideration. They are comfortable in busy environments and prefer roles where priorities are communicated clearly. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
