About Romane

Hello 👋🏻 I am Romane, a thirty-something from Auvergne:
a communications professional by training, a salesperson by conviction.

For 8 years, I have been building bridges between brands and their audiences — from L’Oréal, Booking.com to Michelin, as well as ambitious SMEs and startups.

As a communicator, I learned to understand needs, find the right words, and above all… to convince. Image consulting, communication, strategy, operational marketing, field work: I have explored and loved the spectrum.
The link between communication and sales? The taste for contact, the desire to provide solutions, and the certainty that a well-managed relationship is worth all the campaigns in the world.

Today, I want to go further: prospecting, negotiating, retaining. Getting out of the office, meeting, listening, creating opportunities. Currently retraining, I don't claim to know everything, but I know how to create desire, build trust, and turn a "no" into "let's talk about it again".

Energy, curiosity, and a results-oriented mindset are my best tools. My goal: to grow human relationships… and revenue.

My skills:
Prospecting · Negotiation · Retention · Strategy · Operational Marketing · Brand Image · Project Management · Strategic Planning · Diplomacy · B2B Relations · Adaptability · Agility · Critical Thinking · Professional English · Customer Experience Study & Recommendation · Consulting · Needs Analysis · Account Management · Lead Generation
