My main responsibility at PM International was to create a new sales network, complementary to the already existing one. I organised online and offline training sessions and opportunity meetings and spent a lot of time personally coaching distributors. Furthermore, I created content for social media, wrote newsletters. From my position, I was responsible for sales and kpi's in my assigned region and represented PM International in the Dutch Direct Sales Association.

Hamolé was a Spanish startup that aimed to bring a typical Spanish delicacy, cured ham, from the Iberian Peninsula to the rest of Europe, using the direct sales model. A difficult product to market through direct sales, but I loved the challenge and learned a lot here.For the Dutch and Belgian markets, I built a network of independent distributors from scratch. Networking and maintaining relationships were therefore a very important part of my daily activities. I supported and coached the distributors who joined us in all kinds of ways in their activities, informed them about our products etc. Furthermore, I organized and promoted various business opportunity meetings and was very active on social media and here on LinkedIn.Internally, I actively contributed to the European business plan, advised my colleagues at the headquarters on the many aspects of direct sales, initiated incentives and sales support activities, and informed headquarters on progress in the markets assigned to me.

Bofrost is Europees marktleider in de productie en distributie van diepvriesproducten die het bedrijf zelf bij de klant verkoopt en levert. In de functie van Gebiedsverkoopleider (GVL) was ik verantwoordelijk voor de dagelijkse organisatie van de Limburgse vestiging in Beringe. De nadruk lag in mijn functie op het plannen van de dagelijkse klantentoeren, het coachen van het salesteam en de werving en selectie van nieuwe medewerkers. Verder organiseerde ik periodieke salesmeetings, voerde ik voortgangs- en functioneringsgesprekken met medewerkers.
