”" I am delighted when a customer leaves my office satisfied even if I have to go out of my way to make that happen.
.
I just absolutely love when I'm able to network people together.I like working in the background to organise events/programs and make sure everyone is happy and getting what they need.
I love network marketing even though I have not fully understood the process properly. I feel there's still alot to learn to make it work for me.I like spending time with family and friends and I play alot (this makes people think I'm unserious sometimes) but my mind is always working.
I hope to be a major influencer in the event management and sales area" .
