  Trust is the leading value-for-money brand for digital lifestyle accessories for pc, laptop, tablet and Smartphone, with over 25 years of experience in producing attractive and affordable products that follow the latest trends and technological developments. Starting out as a credit controller, I was responsible for accounts receivables, making sure outstanding debts/invoices were collected. Besides that, I monitored the credit lines we facilitated to our customers and safeguarded the shipments of goods to be well within these financial limits. Being from former Yugoslavian descent I decided my upbringing and the language could be of use to implement initial sales and facilitate the growth in this area. The countries I was responsible for were Rumania, Bulgaria, Serbia & Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina and Macedonia. My customers were local distributors and retail businesses (business to business). Contracts, terms and conditions were negotiated and finalized by me in final documents Show less
