Allow me to introduce myself to you as Allan C. Batten, a U.K. citizen currently based in Thailand.
Currently I am working on part time basis as the Business Development Manager for a local Zoho Business Partner, providing global marketing and pre and after sales support.
Since 1992, I have been permanently based in South East Asia, using, at various stages, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines as my H.Q. I have also been based temporarily in Malaysia, both peninsular and eastern states, Singapore, and Brunei . Prior to that, I have also had highly regarded working experience in Japan, the Middle East (U.A.E., Kuwait & Saudi Arabia), the U.S., Australia & New Zealand and, of course, Europe.
As a strong entrepreneurial sales strategist with a 25+ year record of achievement and demonstrated success in the I.T. , supply chain and Internet sales & marketing landscapes, I am highly motivated, with a genuine passion for demand generation, solution selling, providing quality customer service, and adept at achieving results through driving revenue targets.
A hands-on sales & marketing executive/manager, I believe in providing and optimizing customer value and use that philosophy to drive the business direction. My excellent presentation, communication and influencing skills are complimented by my ability to analyze clients' and market needs, formulate winning proposals, and offer first class products and services.
As Regional Manager for South East Asia, I successfully managed a twin tier structure of direct selling to corporate clients, and identifying and managing a highly profitable channel network.
Perhaps, as a better way of briefly describing myself, comes from the retired Chief Executive Officer of DCS Group Plc: "His considerable expertise was then focused on managing our interests in South East Asia and enabled the company to establish and support a highly successful customer base in that region. Coming from a technical background, Allan has obvious credibility with agents, customers and prospects alike, and combined with his strong personal skills and natural empathy, make for the complete professional."
A passionate evangelizer of quality, creative CRM techniques, I am totally committed to providing superior quality customer and business partner service by maintaining excellent relationships, understanding their requirements, delivering on promises, regularly communicating, and providing personal attention.
I believe that we can quickly start up many exciting lead generation activities for your website through the Internet, social media and email marketing in order to win further direct sales and also to extend your sales and support channels.
I have extensive, experience of generating leads, and selling to and supporting prospects and clients online. And this also includes developing blogs, articles, product and services website content and knowledgebase solutions.
My business "infrastructure" is very sound with a reliable broadband Internet connection, a notebook which has Skype, MS Office, Snagit, Adobe PDF reader, Irfanview etc., plus a delightful balcony overlooking the Gulf of Thailand for coffee breaks!
In closing, I believe that I have the creditability, cultural empathy, and the sales and business management skills to be able to leverage and develop new market opportunities for your company. I look forward very much to hearing from you soon,
Best regards,
