      @ Esko I have the opportunity to combine my job as a Sales Manager with some new challenges. As a Channel Partner Manager I need to seek for new potential resellers in the Benelux region. As a Key Account Manager I have the pleasure to work with some of our Key Accounts in the Benelux and in France. As a Sales Account Manager - Team Lead Benelux it is my responsibility to grow the business in the region. Guiding the Sales team to achieve the targets and together with the Regional Business Director determine action plans. Coaching our strategic partners and getting them up to speed , all in order to increase sales within the Benelux region and get a bigger exposure in the different fields we are playing. seek new opportunities in order to sell our solutions in different markets. Active prospecting for new customers and markets in order to reach sales targets. This is done via direct and indirect sales. Being a former field service engineer makes it possible I demonstrate our CAD/CAM solutions + some other software solutions Esko offers to the market. Working on more visibility in certain markets via exhibitions and partner channels. support the regional business manager with expertise for the S&D market ( CAD-CAM oriented)
