Reporting to Project Developer
Club La Costa is an European holiday property ownership management organisation. 
My role was to present CLC’s range of products to potential members; couples were invited in for a 2 hour sales presentation and it was my job to present and close business on the day.


In 2006 I was selected to be part of team who travelled to Portugal and set up a new sales office in the Algarve; this was a real challenge for me as this was my first time away from 'home'. It was a fantastic and profitable 6 months for me and the office is still running a successful sales operation.
After 2 years I was promoted to Sales Manager which involved supporting Sales Executives throughout their presentations and closing deals at the back end of their presentations.
