Direct Sales job to profile TCS in Dutch market, reporting to Amal Bhatt, Dr Nirmal Jain and the grandfather of the Indian Software Industry Mr F.C. Kohli.Large strategic accounts only, like SHELL, ABN AMRO, ING Group and KLM. Unfortunately Fokker collapsed. Been treated like a prince when I was in India. Went to their centres in Bombay, Delhi and Madras and had a lot of discussions and conversations with key people within TCS, which opened my eyes for the potential of the Indian Software Industry. My friend and guru at McDonnell Douglas Nik Pakvasa was responsible for this position.

Firts commercial Sales/Marketing job. Selling CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM to automotive industry in Benelux. Large salescycles. Companies like GM, DAF, engineering companies, AKZO, Ahrend, Universities, etc. Extensive sales-trainings, quoto-club trips and reference selling. Especially visits to McDonnell Douglas factories for Apache helicopter, F15 Eagle and F18 Hornet were very special. For political reasons Boeing is now taking care of McDonnell Douglas. The dream company for a young sales-gun.

Delivering of various newspapers, local as well national. I really hated the intellectual papers like NRC, because of too little subscriptions.
