Prepare and present proposals, quotations, and presentations to prospective clients and partners.
Represent the company at industry events, trade shows and shipping/air conferences to build brand recognition and generate leads.
Manage the full sales cycle from lead generation to deal closure and ensure excellent post‑sale account management.
Partner with finance to develop pricing strategies (including FAK, surcharges, bunker/air fuel considerations and margin management) that ensure profitability and meet division objectives.
Design campaigns and promotional materials specific to air and sea divisions.
Monitor and report on sales performance, customer satisfaction, on‑time performance, transit times and product success to senior management.
Ensure compliance with relevant air and sea freight regulations, including customs procedures, INCOTERMS, SOLAS/VGM, IMDG/DG rules and airline/liner policies that impact operations and service quality.
