In my role as "Head of Sales and Contract Management" at Biometric Solutions GmbH, I am responsible for the German market. Head of Sales and Contract ManagementThis achievement has been the result of a targeted strategy, where collaboration and mutual respect among our Resellers, other distributors, and especially our customers have created close and value-driven partnerships. Just three years ago, our products were virtually unknown in Germany. Today, we are in communication with nearly 1,000 out of Germany's municipalities.By the end of 2023, we expect to have established 50 customers, with an additional 10 deliveries planned. Our German team currently consists of 4 employees who handle all aspects of our customer relations. This team is spread out, which places particular demands on internal collaboration and team management.My role is highly versatile as I represent and manage the interests of the German company. In my interactions with customers and partners, I engage in dialogues with all stakeholders, including potential and existing customers. I plan and oversee our marketing strategy, conduct online seminars, participate in trade shows, and monitor several deliveries, among other tasks.Internally, my responsibilities include daily leadership, communication with internal stakeholders, product development management, budget preparation, customer invoicing, and overseeing financial reporting, among other duties.My extensive experience has equipped me with essential skills, notably the ability to navigate complexity and create opportunities with limited resources. This demands self-motivation, energy, and family support.I am proud to say that we have achieved our initial goals, and the foundation for continued success has been established.
