It has been the life blood of my career and will be moving forward as I know without new business and fresh money coming in no growth will happen, and that is not an option. • The Company holds weekly two-hour sales training sessions to monitor our progress and hone our sales skills and product knowledge. • I am studying for a B.Com degree in Marketing Management and have been given some opportunities to apply my marketing studies for the company.
