Bio
Jeramy van Menxel
Edwin is a detailed Sales person who listens to the customer very well and only focusses on the needs rather then showing all the bells and whistles. One of the great things in working with a sales person like Edwin is that he is very well capable to do product demonstrations, for a sales person Edwin is very technical this makes him a very good all-round sales person. I think working with Edwin is great and he knows exactly what the customers want and need. I can recommend Edwin to companies who are looking for a person who can build and close there sales activities the benelux.

I had the pleasure to work with Edwin on several large account projects at KPMG, Ballast Nedam and BAM. Edwin Merks is a true Enterprise Sales Professional knowing his customers inside out and able to drive an opportunity from an early stage to the closing stage. He does this by shaping an accounts DMU but also by building strong supporting and other influential relationships. Edwin has the capability as well to turn a critical customer situation into an opportunity that even strengthens the relationship with this customer. He does this by being honest, straight to the point and with full believe in the solutions and the company he works for.

I work closely together with Edwin, as the Services Sales representative. I have come to know him as a very qualified Accountmanager who has a firm grasp on his accounts and extraordinary sense of the politics that come with the job. He is one of the few who REALLY understands the added value of services in any deal. On top of that he is great fun to have around... :-)
