May 2012 - July 2014             LBM 

Direct Sales Advisor 

At LBM I worked on three different campaigns on behalf of Vodafone. 

• The first campaign was additional connections for existing customers.  sold them an additional line, either a mobile phone, a tablet or mobile internet device. 
• The second campaign was winback, we rang customers who left Vodafone and brought them back from a different network. 
• The final campaign I worked on was MBB EBU, we had to sell additional products B2B, we had to find a need or if that wasn’t possible, we had to create a need. 
• Consistently exceeding sales targets and KPI’s. 
• High level customer service on every call. 

Reason for Leaving: Unhappy with the business culture and lack of career prospects.
