At the same time I lead the organisation of trainings and seminars and I participate in trade shows exhibitions and debates to promote our porfolio while keeping updated on the new market trends.

My main goal is to be the perfect link between the sales team, the market and the R&D and Quality departments. I manage the new requirements coming from the clients (new product developments or adaptations), I give technical product and application support to the sales team and to the customers, I give response to the non-conformities or the problems that may occur. At the same time I monitor the relationship with the clients (sales, projects, needs) helping the sales representatives in new projects. In this line, I also support sales preparing the marketing contents for the different social media platforms and other commercial resources. I am also in touch with other departments of the company such as regulatory, legal, marketing and production, which gives me a global understanding of the firm. Show less

Direct and indirect sales. I put all my efforts to become a partner for my clients: meet them periodically to be aware of the day-today needs, introduce them to new products aligned to their activities, provide the most suitable offers, adapt my solutions to their requirements, be effective in solving their problems and dealing with their needs. During this first year I learned the art of the selling process by practissing. It is worth mentioning I had an amazing mentor who guided and engaged me in a world that was unknown for me. Show less
