Joseph Keenan
Summary
Disciplined and reliable professional transitioning into remote sales after building a strong work ethic in demanding industries including offshore aquaculture, mining operations, and landscaping. Experienced working long shifts in high-performance team environments where communication, accountability, and consistency were essential to execution under pressure.
Alongside this, I have developed direct client-facing and sales experience through my independent tattoo and commission art business, managing the full customer journey from enquiry to booking. This includes understanding client needs, conducting consultative conversations, handling pricing discussions, and converting enquiries into paid work while maintaining repeat clients through relationship building and service quality.
Currently completing High Ticket Sales training with Remote Sales Institute, developing practical skills in qualification, discovery, objection handling, and booking qualified sales calls as I am seeking opportunity within the remote sales space.
