Dubai, United Arab Emirates
When I started in logistics over 8 years ago, I learned quickly that the best freight rates mean nothing if the client doesn't trust you. Today, as Head of Sales at Master Group — one of the UAE's leading logistics groups — I lead a team responsible for growing and managing key accounts across Sea Freight, Air Cargo, and Land Transport across the UAE and Middle East. What I've built over the years isn't just a revenue number. It's a network of clients who call me first — not because I pitched them the hardest, but because I showed up consistently, understood their business, and made complex logistics feel simple. What I bring to the table: → Building client pipelines from cold to closed in competitive freight markets → Structuring and coaching sales teams on pitch strategy and objection handling → Managing long-term B2B relationships across the Gulf, India, and international corridors → Navigating high-stakes freight negotiations across sea, air, and land Outside of my role at Master Group, I mentor and coach sales professionals and students who want to sharpen their client communication, pitch delivery, and relationship strategy. If you're in logistics, freight, or B2B sales — or you're building your sales career and want a sounding board — let's connect. 📍 Based in Dubai | Open to speaking, coaching & consulting inquiries 📧 [email protected] | 🗓️ https://topmate.io/siddharth_shashi_nair/
