About

Nhlanhla

Zikalala

I am an innovative sales leader with strong knowledge of sales and marketing, coupled with a successful background in the achievement of business growth via effective strategic selling, and experience of working with diverse cultures having worked for US-owned General Mills and Indian-owned Godrej companies. I have acquired and strengthened a broad repertoire of technical skills during my career, having worked predominantly within business development and account management. During my recent tenure as a Head of Sales, my drive, application, and strong diagnostic skills saw me achieve remarkable successes in brand positioning, revenue enhancements, market share growth, and the reduction of operational costs through the maximization of commercial opportunities and networks. My technical skills are complemented by my communicative capacities and my focus on empowering teams to achieve substantial sales. The interpersonal skills that underpin my success in staff engagement are also key to my ability to cultivate productive working relationships with a range of clients. If you would like to know more about my experience and achievements in the delivery of optimal solutions, business growth, sales results, and objectives, please feel free to connect.
