Sioux Automation Technology, part of the Sioux Group, extended it's presence in the Randstad by opening a second office. From this office we will recruit the best (embedded) software talent and offer contract software development services to high tech customers in the region. Next to my tasks in Eindhoven, I took up the challenge to open this new location from scratch: finding a location, recruiting & hiring staff, acquiring new customers, building up a relationship with Delft University and student networks. Transferred to local colleague.
As a sales manager I was responsible for the high tech team in the Eindhoven office. With a focus on high tech customers in the Noord-Brabant and Limburg area I managed a team of over 10 account managers with expertises varying from Mechanical Engineering to Electronics.
The promotion to senior accountmanager came with a higher salestarget and secondary tasks like training and coaching new junior accountmanagers on the job.
Started my carreer at Brunel with a focus on new business by arranging sales visits through cold calling. I also focussed on alternative business within existing customers, for example by building relations within production departments of customers we've only did business with in R&D departments. The combination helped my business grow and achieve my targets.
