Sulyman Sikiru Niyi

I am a dynamic and result-driven sales and marketing professional with a solid background spanning across FMCG, agrochemicals, cosmetics, and seed industries. With years of practical experience working across Nigeria’s diverse regions — including the North Central, North West, North East, and South East — I have developed a strong understanding of market dynamics, customer behavior, and territory management.

My career journey began as a Sales Intern at Nigerian Bottling Company Plc (Kontagora Depot), where I gained valuable hands-on exposure to product distribution, customer relations, and daily route planning. This early foundation led me to more demanding roles, such as Sales Representative for Unilever Nigeria Plc (Distributor), where I was responsible for driving product visibility, managing retail accounts, and increasing order frequency across designated territories.

At Zandas Cosmetics GM Ltd, I served as a Sales Executive Officer, where I successfully built client relationships, managed in-store promotions, and contributed to sustained sales growth within a competitive cosmetics market. As a Marketing Officer at Premier Seeds Nigeria Limited, I was actively involved in product awareness campaigns, farmer engagement, and dealer support to drive the adoption of improved seed varieties.

In my most recent role as an Assistant Sales Manager at Harvestfield Industries Limited, I supported sales strategy execution across multiple regions. I collaborated closely with field sales teams, distributors, and agro-dealers to meet sales targets, expand market reach, and improve customer satisfaction.

I possess strong communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills. I am also proficient in conducting market research, analyzing consumer trends, and presenting insights that support business decisions. My administrative skills include order tracking, report preparation, stock movement monitoring, and CRM tool usage.

I am an Associate Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Administration and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Sales and Customer Service Management. I also hold a professional certification in marketing management, which has sharpened my skills in digital marketing, customer engagement, and business strategy.

Adaptable, self-motivated, and reliable, I bring value to any team or client by combining industry knowledge with a proactive work ethic. I am open to freelance opportunities in sales support, customer service, virtual assistance, marketing, and administrative roles, where I can deliver measurable impact and consistent results.
