  Dell Technologies

  Inside Sales Manager

  My job was to make sure our fantastic sales reps got what they deserved - a good start and space to do the job and gain valuable experience. If I could contribute to that and even make sure we all kept an eye on the dirction that would be a good start for me. Looking back, I can proudly say I did.Working at a company like Dell can be complexed and appear as a huge task for a sales person. A huge part of my job was to leverage all the information, working as a buffer for my team and making sure we all went in the same direction with the same sets of values. I`ve always believed it all starts with yourself and what you can do to make a change. Vis mindre

  My job at Semine was to make way for a great set of technology that sits in the heart of the Accounts Payable dept. I worked on building relationships in the Retail, Shipping and Wholesale segments and I had a great time doing so. For me it was a return to my roots as I was doing all the nitty gritty work to get in position to close deals and maintain custoimer focus. Being part of a start up was really interesting and I learned allot about the industry as well as my self. Happy to have spent time at Semine with some great people and I will be rooting from the sidelines. Vis mindre
