About

As an Ecommerce Specialist at African Sales Company (ASCO), a leading distributor of beauty, skincare, and cosmetics products, I am passionate about delivering exceptional online shopping experiences to our customers. I have over two years of experience in managing the ecommerce platform, updating the sales manager on stock levels and promotions, and ensuring compliance with company standards.

I also have a strong background in retail sales, direct sales, and sales presentations, thanks to my previous roles as a Fragrance Consultant at Estée Lauder Companies South Africa and a Business Owner of a bottled water brand. In these positions, I demonstrated my ability to meet monthly targets, assist team members, resolve conflicts, and handle office administration. I am always eager to learn new skills and enhance my knowledge of the cosmetics industry.
