My name is Segnes, pronounced as "Sen".

I am a clear thinker in business and take a simple approach of understanding what I offer and how it fits with a customers requirements. Being straight forward in business and my dealings with work colleagues and clients alike has led to a clean, clinical sales strategy. In addition to having an ethic of never easing off when the times are good and having strong speaking and interpersonal relationship skills, I am developing a strong sales driven career.

My beautiful wife and children give me the drive to never rest and the support to put my shoulder down, irrespective of the scale of any adversity met. They also show me the importance of long term investment in myself with regards to my health and my career.

As an established career salesperson, I am able to establish my own targets and communicate with management of any tools that I require in order to achieve what I set for myself. This approach has led to recognition and respect in all of my dealings. I enjoy having an interactive relationship with my employer.

I work effectively alone and am able to cope with requirements set out for and by me, however am also able to act as a fluid and adaptable team member, through mutual communication and resource sharing. I enjoy taking ownership of any given task and feel that I act as a sound ambassador for any task and an employer as a whole.
