Building on this performance, I was selected to take on a trainer role, where I coached new hires on sales fundamentals, objection handling, and effective closing techniques. I led onboarding sessions, shared best practices from top-performing reps, and helped shorten ramp-up time by providing hands-on guidance and real call feedback. As I consistently demonstrated leadership, strong communication, and the ability to elevate team performance, I was promoted to Sales Manager. In this role, I oversaw team metrics, monitored KPIs, and implemented strategies to improve conversion rates and efficiency. I also mentored team members individually, fostered a high-performance culture, and ensured alignment with company goals while maintaining a strong focus on both results and customer experience.

This experience solidified my commitment to professional sales, proving my ability to build rapport quickly, handle high-pressure environments, and find genuine satisfaction in achieving ambitious targets through direct client engagement.

I began my role at Papaya as a tutor in English and Mathematics, applying and further developing the skills I had previously acquired at Like Institute. Over time, I transitioned into an Operations role, taking on greater technical and organizational responsibilities, where I designed and implemented a new system, building its database as well as its back-end and front-end components. I also developed monitoring tools to improve operational efficiency, managed support tickets, and ensured the accuracy of scheduling for both students and tutors. My tenure at Papaya came to an end due to the company’s financial difficulties, which ultimately led to bankruptcy and widespread staff reductions.
