Aileen U.

Although I'm relatively new to Upwork, I bring more than 15 years of real-world sales/closing experience. I've spent my career selling to business owners, senior managers and C-suite executives across multiple industries, including consulting, SaaS, training, education, food & beverage and professional services. My background includes roles as a Managing Director, Key Account Manager, Customer Success Team Lead, Closer, Business Consultant and Sales Professional. Recently, I worked remotely for a US-based coaching company where I helped entrepreneurs and business owners grow their companies through improved sales activity, accountability, client success, and retention. During my time there, I helped improve retention by approximately 30% within six months. I am highly comfortable building rapport, identifying business challenges, handling objections and guiding prospects toward confident buying decisions. I genuinely enjoy understanding how businesses operate and helping clients connect the dots between where they are today and where they want to be. Price points I have sold ranges from a few thousand dollars for training and consulting engagements through to larger annual corporate contracts and long-term service agreements. Throughout my career I have worked with both SMEs and large organisations including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and National Brands. Some of the solutions I have sold include: • Business coaching and consulting programmes • SaaS and compliance software solutions • Food safety consulting and training services • Quality management system implementation and auditing services • Ongoing service agreements and retainers
