Help with my CV

I am updating my CV and I find some troubles explaining some of my previous jobs back to my home county. If anybody can help me I would really appreciate it

1. In the past, I was working as a Mercantile Agent. While I was living in another country, I was acting as an intermediary for a company where I used to work for, and its located back to my home country. I want to put in the description for this position something like:

"Commercial Agent for importing recycling equipment and other relevant materials"
Is this the right way to express it? any other ideas?

2. I was working for a short period of time as a Sales Manager in a company who was just starting its operations (this was another activity and not relevant to the above). Since the owner of this company was a friend, I continued to help him mostly on importing raw materials, and I was earning a commission from that . So the description I want to add is something like:

" During the first 3 months, I have been involved in the formation of the sales team. Subsequently, I continued to provide assistance on importing raw materials"

But something doesn't sounds right on this description and definitely I want to improve it. Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks
Mike
