Sales and Marketing Consultant

KSC Advisory

May 2020 - Jul 2022

Key Achievements:

PROBLEM OWNED Clients across professional services and real estate needed revenue growth but lacked structured sales processes, market positioning, or the capacity to run consistent outreach — and were losing deals to better-organised competitors. → Delivered end-to-end business development for 8+ clients over 27 months — owning prospecting, pitching, negotiation, and deal closure — contributing directly to sustained revenue growth across each engagement. → Designed and executed integrated sales and marketing strategies (digital and offline) that improved lead quality and pipeline conversion, with an average of 3–5 high-value opportunities closed per client per engagement cycle. → Managed marketing budgets and outreach performance reporting, enabling data-driven decisions that reduced wasted spend and improved campaign ROI across multiple concurrent client accounts. WHAT CHANGED Clients moved from reactive, relationship-only selling to structured pipelines with defined channels — shifting from inconsistent deal flow to predictable revenue generation.
