• You are target driven and ambitious
• You take a positive, confident and resilient approach, with the desire to self-source new business

• You have strong organisational skills and the ability to work on your  own initiative with an entrepreneurial spirit
• Your excellent listening skills establish client needs and build excellent rapport, putting the client’s objectives first

What’s in it for you?
