- Prepare proposals, presentations, itineraries and commercial quotations in coordination with the operations and contracting teams.
- Follow up consistently with prospects and convert qualified opportunities into confirmed business.
- Negotiate commercials while protecting company margins and profitability.
- Achieve defined monthly and quarterly revenue, gross-profit and closure targets.
- Build and maintain a healthy sales pipeline with clear follow-up and closure timelines.
- Maintain strong relationships with existing clients and generate repeat business.
- Coordinate with the operations team after closure to ensure a proper client handover.
