4. A proven track-record of consistent achievement of sales KPIs and targets.
5. Strong written, verbal, interpersonal and presentation skills and an ability to interact with diverse audiences.
6. Results driven, motivated and passionate about sales.
7. Strong commitment to personal excellence, self-disciplined, well presented and resourceful with excellent attention to detail and time management skills.
