richelle clemente

In the last 12 years, I've been fortunate to immerse myself in various facets of business, honing my skills in Supply Chain, Logistics, Data Processing, Sales, Marketing, and General Accounting. I am thriving as a Logistics Coordinator at Echo Green Marketing. My role involves overseeing the distribution of goods, as well as coordinating deliveries with multiple suppliers.

Prior to this, I had a fulfilling stint as a Sales Associate at Synnex Corporation, specifically handling the Microsoft Account. My responsibilities included generating quotes for Microsoft Volume Licensing, managing anniversary orders for Microsoft customers, and advising them on the most suitable licensing options.

I also had the privilege of working as an Associate Sales Representative at Ingram Micro, where I focused on Small and Medium-sized businesses. Here, I got to manage customer databases, ensuring that all contact information, billing, shipping details, and stock records were up-to-date. Negotiating prices between vendors and customers was a crucial part of my role, facilitating smooth transactions and successful deals. I also reached out to dormant customers, provided pricing quotes to potential clients, and maintained strong customer relationships through exceptional service.

My international experience in Dubai as a Junior Accountant and Marketing Executive expanded my horizons. I handled diverse customers across the Middle East, preparing quotes and orders, tracking shipments, and engaging in price negotiations. Additionally, I proactively reached out to prospective clients, introducing our product offerings, and scheduling meetings with our marketing manager.

My journey began in non-voice support roles related to General Accounting, Accounts Payable, and Receivables, starting with Shell Shared Services and leading up to my initial role at Panasonic Phils. These experiences have equipped me with a well-rounded skill set and a deep understanding of various business functions.
