What you’ll be doing
- Develop and execute sales plans across your assigned accounts to achieve revenue and commercial targets.
- Manage and grow relationships with existing customers while proactively identifying and developing new business opportunities.
- Build strong relationships with travel agencies, corporate customers and other key commercial partners to strengthen Etihad’s position in the market.
- Analyse customer potential, market trends and competitor activity to identify where the strongest revenue opportunities exist.
- Maintain a healthy pipeline of opportunities and take ownership for progressing them from initial engagement through to conversion.
- Use available data, commercial insights and sales tools to prioritise activity and improve account performance.
- Negotiate effectively with customers and partners to deliver mutually beneficial commercial outcomes.
- Work closely with internal stakeholders and Etihad partners to develop customer solutions, support commercial initiatives and unlock new opportunities.
- Support the introduction and promotion of Etihad products and services relevant to your customers and market.
