Sales & Account Manager, Jakarta, Indonesia

"When I first joined ISS as a sales executive in '98 I was struck by the professionalism of the business. Everybody had a clear set of goals and targets, and they knew what was expected of them. I took on the challenge, and so far I have always managed to meet my targets. In fact I have had the best sales performance in Indonesia four years in a row."

"In 2003 I got the position of sales & accounts manager. Now I take charge of the sales process all the way from the first lead to the deal is closed. It excites me to work with prospective clients and find ways that ISS can tailor a service package that fits their indvidual needs. This is very challenging. One day you're with a car manufacturer looking for ways to take over some of their non-core manufacturing processes, the next week you could be talking to a big mall about their facility services needs."

"ISS is the market leader in Indonesia - and we are expanding all the time. I enjoy being part of a company that has double-digit growth every year, and knowing that I contribute to this achievement. In the coming years I hope to assume management responsibilities for a sales team - I would like to pass on my experience and help others to grow in the business."

"Working in sales can be quite demanding, especially when you have deadlines for tenders and offers. But in spite of these peaks, I set aside time to take my daughter to piano lessons, help her with school work or take out the family for a game of tennis."
