3. Why should you employ me?
I am a strong believer that knowledge is 1/3 of success and attitude accounts
for the other 2/3. I do have the attitude.
As a Key Account Manager / Technical Sales Engineer it is imperative to be
customer focussed, to build strong relationships throughout different
departments of the customer, be this purchasing, engineering, production or
logistics, whilst networking with internal departments and never forgetting the
bottom line. I have proven these skills on a consistent basis, whilst working for
BAS Components / PSM International and will bring the same dedication and
skills to you.
Besides having good presentations skills, I am a good listener, this helps me to
fully understand the specific needs of a particular customer, which leads to a
stronger partnership. I see problems as a challenge to overcome and have had
the experience that well solved problems, lead to trust and an excellent long
term relationship.
I will always challenge myself to exceed expectations – the expectations of my
customer and my employer alike. I am willing to travel, within the UK and
International.
