Tristan Parr

Account Executive
Rotterdam

Summary

As an out and out, self-aware, articulate SaaS sales professional with over 14 years’ B2C and B2B experience within sales, I have procured, prospected and managed new business accounts from decision makers across a variety of different business sectors and verticals including; technology, retail, energy, HR, and risk management.

During my time, I have managed to forge a strong legacy of achievement within both new business development and account management, whilst simultaneously maintaining high service standards.

Many of my sales exploits resulted in producing seminal ‘wins’ or ‘opportunities’ for the organisations that I have been fortunate to represent and I believe that this is a reflection of my desire to adopt an approach that articulates the true value of the products/services that I am able to offer, coupled with the natural charisma and sincerity that I possess.
