Summary

In my current role as Director at A&J Global Trading PTY LTD, I oversee finance tracking and sales strategy planning, managing key account relationships with both local and international clients. My focus on exporting Australian beef, lamb, and seafood has allowed me to develop and secure export inquiries from countries such as Thailand, Mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and the UAE. My ability to negotiate with suppliers and provide tailored sales strategies has been instrumental in building strong partnerships with clients like SA Meats, Cleland Fine Foods, and Gelista.

Previously, as a Sales Representative at B&E Foods Adelaide, I maintained and strengthened relationships with existing customers while successfully acquiring new clients. My strategic planning and market analysis led to my recognition as the top sales representative in Adelaide from August 2022 to April 2024. This role honed my skills in stakeholder engagement, sales strategy execution, and market trend analysis—skills that are directly aligned with the requirements of the Sales Manager position at your esteemed company.

My extensive experience in both the North American and Asian markets, combined with my in-depth knowledge of intensive livestock feeding operations and grain-fed beef supply chains, positions me uniquely to drive your sales initiatives. I am adept at identifying new business opportunities and trends within the sector, ensuring accurate and up-to-date pricing strategies that enhance brand loyalty and market presence.

Key highlights of my qualifications include:

Sales Strategy & Market Development: Proven ability to build and execute sales strategies that drive value and customer loyalty, particularly in red meat and branded beef sectors.
International Market Expertise: Extensive experience in key Asian markets (China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, UAE)
Stakeholder Engagement: Skilled in managing internal and external relationships, fostering trust, and maintaining long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers.
Communication & Negotiation: Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities with a track record of securing key deals and negotiating favorable terms.
Industry Knowledge: In-depth understanding of beef/wagyu production, intensive livestock feeding operations, and grain-fed beef supply chains.
I hold a Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery s from TAFE SA, along with a Forklift License and a Working with Children Certificate. These certifications, coupled with my hands-on experience in the hospitality and trading industries, have equipped me with a unique blend of skills that are highly applicable to the Sales Manager role.

I am excited to bring my expertise in sales strategy, market development, and international trade. I am confident that my background and skills make me a strong candidate for this position. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team and help achieve your sales objectives. Dynamic Director oversees every facet of production with strong project management and decision-making skills. Brings comprehensive knowledge of production writing, planning, and technical operations. I am skilled at coordinating production plans and personnel resources to complete work under tight deadlines.
