Today we look back on Sabrina’s impressions and experiences with BOC Group and are delighted to welcome her as a permanent member of our team.
What advantages do you see in the trainee year as a start to your BOC Key Account Management career?
The advantage of starting as a trainee is that I was able to get to know many different topics in peace and quiet, as I was given enough time. I was able to look at different products and add-ons and was not immediately specialized in one product. It was also very interesting that, as a trainee, I was given an insight into the work of the hotline for two weeks.
How did your onboarding take place?
Already in the first days of my BOC Germany onboarding, I was introduced to our ADONIS tool by colleagues with whom I now work very closely. They always made sure that I was able to keep up and gradually build up a good understanding. In my second week, the BOC Group onboarding took place, where I got to know all the other topics.
I got to know my actual job responsibilities afterwards. My introduction to new topics was always based on the team’s agenda. I worked closely with my colleagues and learned how they dealt with the various cases. Afterwards, I was given the right tools to be able to take on the tasks myself.
If there are any uncertainties, I can always ask for help from the team leader, colleagues or management. I enjoy that it is still an ongoing learning process. There was never a day when I was left alone and expected to be able to do everything.
How are your tasks organized?
There are always a wide variety of things to do. We are in contact with various departments or partners, go to customer meetings, prepare offers and much more. At customer meetings, we discuss possible license extensions, upcoming updates, and present one of our products, etc.
If it is a new customer, we organize kick-off meetings, which are carried out together with someone from consulting and technical project management. Overall, the work is very versatile.
What new skills are you happy about?
Above all, I can say that I have been able to strengthen all the skills that I have already picked up from other experiences in my life. In particular, I can think of communication skills, flexibility and quick comprehension.
Thank you for the interview Sabrina!
