I brought together a geographically spread team of 9 individually focused sales people and transformed them into a solid team. As a result our performance increased to 140% against target.

Brussels/Warsaw/Frankfurt/Amsterdam

My role had 3 phases:1) Making the fieldsales more effective, where 1 customer visit per day was the norm. 2)Building the BENELUX inside sales team.3)Starting and building the European service center in Warsaw, Polands. (22FTE) Wat gave me most satisfaction was to spot people with the right attitude, to train, develop and make them succesful. This with.

I’m proud that I managed to re-vitalize the under-appreciated commercial team, and ensured they received the recognition, they truly deserved. This went hand in hand with sales growing from €40 to 46 Million.

With 2 people, a small office, a bank debt, and a pile of sales folders, I rebuild the Crown Belgium operations and put them back on the map within 18 months.

After having volentarily raised my hand to start the Crown, New Delhi operations, I had no idea what to expect. Within 2 years I created a shinny, profitable removals and data archiving company with 50 male and female staff. A smooth running operation with a remarkable professional approach, service level and appearance, which quickly became the new.

What I enjoyed the most in Manila was motivating the 7 FTE sales team. Most fulfilling was to give hidden talents a chance to try something new. With the best example of the receptionist whom I helped to become the sales manager. (She still is today).

Adventurous first “real” job in a tough but fascinating culture.
