In this role, I identified and created new revenue opportunities for the business, engaging potential clients such as property management companies, landlords, real estate agencies, and home warranty providers. I reached out to these potential clients via cold calls, emails, and referrals to introduce the company’s services, communicate its value proposition, and convert leads into long-term partners. I also tracked market trends, monitored competitors, and looked for gaps in service coverage that our services company could fill.

I built and maintained relationships with external stakeholders and partners to ensure that our partners remained confident in the company’s reliability, response times, and quality of service. I also collaborated closely with internal technicians and operations teams to guarantee that commitments made to external partners were consistently met, reinforcing long-term loyalty and driving sustained revenue growth for the business.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I introduced and optimised workflow processes to improve efficiency, reduced resolution times, and enhanced overall service performance. In addition, I worked closely with technical teams to coordinate the resolution of complex issues, ensuring clear communication and effective problem-solving across functions.
