Transferrable skills and adaptability are the key to a rewarding Sales career

“As a salesperson, at Veeam, you are a consultant, psychologist, team builder and customer service representative all in one. Though it may seem challenging at first, you’ll receive thorough training on our products and industry to fill all of these different ‘roles’ successfully.”

We sat down with Stefan who joined the Sales Team at Veeam four years ago and asked him about the top three drivers in a successful salesperson. He said, “Sales is a performance-based career. The more you sell, the more bonus you earn. For anyone with a competitive streak or the desire to be recognized and rewarded for their hard work, this is a key motivator and something that will drive a successful career for years”.

Growing a sales career with a hospitality mindset

“Initially, I had never considered Sales as a career for myself. But when I spoke with my previous manager about next career steps, he encouraged me to explore Sales.

“Initially, I had never considered Sales ... Read more
