JAMES LEIGH PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- SALES and LETTINGS MANAGER
I have always been an individual that is motivated and ambitious. My goal is always to progress and continue to learn with the help of those around me. Customer interaction and service is a big part of my role, and I will always strive to be seen as confident and knowledgeable in this area.
My organisational skills are an asset in a number of different areas, from managing diaries on behalf of my colleagues, to arranging visits from contractors as and when the work is necessary. I am enjoying my time in property, and hope to continue growing with the business as we add to our sites across Essex and beyond.
From my first day of work at 16, selling musical windmills, pub mirrors and crinoline figures on the Clacton seafront, I have been involved in sales. Through my twenties, I sold advertising, insurance, scaffolding, double glazing, beer, mortgages… the list goes on.
I entered the world of publishing in the early 90's and was instrumental in the launch of the in-flight magazines for EasyJet, Ryanair and Virgin Express. Other publications I launched included the membership magazine for the former national gym chain, LA Fitness.
Having sold my publishing business, I moved back to Colchester and joined the Institute of Customer Service as a Business Development Manager. Here I worked with local and national businesses, helping them to improve customer service and to empower customer facing staff with qualifications.
You could say that customer service has always been my calling. I feel very strongly that it is this aspect of selling that sets individuals apart. I have now brought the skills I have learnt, and the hunger I have for selling in the right way, to residential sales and lettings. I am determined to be just as successful selling in the property market as I have in all other areas of my career.
