Alignment of company and personal values

Building a diverse work environment is something that most companies strive to achieve in this day. Diversity in the workplace provides access to a variety of different perspectives. This can be an individual person’s knowledge, or insights which are beneficial for planning and executing business strategy. It also brings opportunity for personal and professional growth.

I play a role in managing corporate customers and lead generation. It is very satisfying to engage with multiple teams to ensure that our customers are provided with the right consultation and to ensure that their expectations are well met.

But while I am a conduit between the pre-sales and post-sales phases, I am comfortable in one of my key roles: vendor and supplier communication and negotiations.

I prefer working in a group where team members encourage each other and share ideas. And one finds job satisfaction when your company’s values align with your own. I also enjoy working for a company where I know I can continue to grow my skills both personally and professionally. Flexibility at work ensures a healthy work life balance which can contribute to higher job satisfaction.

In a sales role, of all the challenges REJECTION is the most universal. Getting rejected by customers is a part of this role. Use this as an opportunity for improvement and understanding the gaps for the next deal. Prospecting, building trust and credibility with the customer is also a challenging aspect. To overcome this challenge, you have to try out different techniques to stand out from the competitors.
