• Plan and execute a structured weekly call cycle covering hotels, resorts, restaurant outlets, tourist sites, and souvenir retail locations across assigned territories.
• Identify, cold-call and convert new B2B accounts with a disciplined, on-the-ground prospecting approach — no lead is too cold if the potential is right.
• Conduct in-person product demonstrations, sampling sessions, and sustainability briefings at client premises with procurement, housekeeping, F&B and retail stakeholders.
• Build a healthy, stage-qualified sales pipeline and maintain accurate visit logs and forecasting through CRM.
