Philemon Muthomi

I am a highly motivated results-driven individual with a Degree in Geophysics from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). I also have a Certificate in Sales and Business Development acquired through B2B Sales training from Yusudi Sales Academy,where I learnt valuable communication and negotiation skills. During the training I was able to complete a sales insourcing project on behalf of Securex Agencies Ltd which involved contacting 330 prospects via cold calls, understanding their needs, and presenting 3 customized solutions to meet client’s needs.

I was also able to generate 6 leads and forwarded them to the company for follow-ups and closing.

I am looking for an opportunity in a vibrant company like yours, where I can contribute to its growth by increasing sales through interacting with clients and addressing their questions and concerns, thereby developing long-term trusting relationships.
