• Identifying new potential customers and working with the external sales team to bring them on board
• Improving quotation conversion in line with the commercial sales plan
• Working closely with Design Office Managers and Business Development Managers to keep the customer experience seamless
• Taking ownership of customer issues and resolving complaints promptly
