Business Development manager
Osogbo, Osun, Nigeria
As a Retail Sales Associate, I was responsible for creating a welcoming environment by greeting customers as they entered the store and assisting with their inquiries and requests. I executed purchases and returns at the cash register, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. My role involved restocking and organizing merchandise on the sales floor, while also resolving customer complaints and issues in a timely and professional manner. I utilized strong communication skills to effectively interact with customers, colleagues, and management, ensuring a positive shopping experience. Additionally, I applied my organizational skills to manage inventory and maintain an orderly sales floor, contributing to operational efficiency. Demonstrating effective time management, I prioritized tasks to meet deadlines, enhancing overall service quality. I provided excellent customer service, addressing inquiries and concerns promptly, while also recognizing the importance of behind-the-scenes customer interactions that may occur in administrative roles. My experience in administrative assistance was further complemented by engaging in data entry tasks, such as tracking sales and inventory, to support operational accuracy and reporting. Although my skills in inside sales, digital marketing sales, social media marketing, and lead generation were not directly relevant to my role, I effectively leveraged them to enhance customer engagement and online brand awareness. For instance, I identified and approached new customers through walk-ins, referrals, and field visits, promoting bank products like savings accounts and loans. I collected customer details to build a pipeline of prospects and followed up with customers via phone calls, WhatsApp, or email, nurturing leads until they became customers. I guided customers who discovered the bank online, helping them complete signups, and converted digital inquiries from the website or ads into actual customers. Additionally, I promoted products through WhatsApp status and Facebook posts, responding to customer inquiries on social media, which helped build relationships and trust through online engagement, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the sales team.
