As a Merchant Banking Analyst, I played a key role in driving customer acquisition and business growth forJGS Resources. I conducted extensive industry and market research to identify profitable customer segments, carefully analyzing factors such as profitability and market potential. Using these insights, I led targeted outreach campaigns, including email marketing and cold calling efforts, to promote our products and successfully bring new clients onboard. I also gathered and analyzed data from these campaigns to refine our approach, identifying the most successful sectors and customer profiles. In collaboration with the tech team, I contributed to the development of an automated marketing application that leveraged this data, enabling us to optimize outreach efforts and reach high-value customers more effectively.
