The time of reinforcement

Long waited update.

It has been quite a long time I've not been blogging ever since started work.

This post should act as a reminder for myself throughout my 2 years and 5 months of working in my current company (DKSH Malaysia), how I've been through it and how I should set myself a higher goals for being a better "ME".

Time flies, being a part of the team (TEAM A) has always been my pleasure and I am grateful for opportunity being in the team until now. I have two seniors and a junior we are representing and handling for central sales for some major agency such as Novartis, Elli-Lilly, Astrazeneca, Abbott, Lacorium, Actavis, P&G, as well as our own brand Hiruscar.

I've always thought that working as a sales isn't an easy job, especially working in DKSH (even until now). We are required to take up many agencies as allocated by management, dealing with many pharmacy retail which includes of mini chain such as (AA, BIG, Multicare, Sunway, Allday, and OK) with minimal support (in any form of monetary/gift due to anti-bribery and anti-corruption kind of rules), yet we still have to maintain a good relationship, constantly promotes and updates new promotion schemes to respective person in charge.

Two years of experience in Pharma Sales line has made me became a person who do not give up easily. (Always tell yourself never to stop asking before they say no to you). It's definitely not an easy job as I can ever experience. It took me a lot of struggles (laziness, doubts, hesitates, conflicts, mis-communication and self-judgement) in fulfilling monthly target set by management. Of course, meeting target is one of the most important aspect for us too.

Thank god, within these two year of working, just by  focusing my own work, I manage to maintain my relationship with my customer. ( I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I am definitely trying my best to solve issues being faced by all customers), also gladly to say I also being awarded as Top Representatives of year 2017 and 2018 for second half of the year. I'm grateful that management did acknowledge all my hard works, with this awards it should act as a motivation to move forward.

Besides awards, I am also feeling thankful and proudly for the promotion from being a Sales Representative to Senior Sales Representative for two years of working experiences.

Looking forward, I am hoping that new manager is able to advice and giving us opportunity to learn how to use SAP system (one of my weakness is I don't even know how to use SAP system due to previous manager may neglected the importance of giving us chance to use it). Besides of system, I would also like to improve my management skills on planning, execution, and implementation in overall to equip me for future challenges.

First quarter of the year has just been over and next month will be the beginning of new challenges. Let's continue the hard work, to remind our self the importance of perseverance, courage and hard work.

Good luck.
