Welcome to ETT, we have over 30 years of expertise
What does your day look like?
Good morning! You arrive at your department in our open offices, and a colleague asks if you'd like a cup of coffee (or tea) already. It's great because it gives you time to start up your computer and catch up with a colleague from another department about yesterday. You heard from your colleague that a deal is going to happen today! Now it's up to you to make sure that this deal happens at ETT Distribution. You attend to your own inbox and the shared inbox, respond to incoming calls, and call back a customer who had a question about a quote. In addition to working with existing clients, you reach out to potential customers based on provided lists and add your own information.
It's now time for a break, and today you don't feel like going outside. You join a group of colleagues in the dining area to chat and enjoy the delicious food that's available. You savor the view of the fields and take a moment to clear your mind. When the weather is pleasant, lunch is enjoyed outside on the terrace near the petanque court.
After the break, you have a meeting with the product managers who present the actions and strategies for the upcoming period to your team. Meanwhile, you consider which customers might be interested and plan to inform them in the coming week. After the meeting, you reach out to the customer you spoke with earlier in the morning. Together with your colleague and in consultation with the suppliers, you have prepared a great quote, which you present to the customer. Deal! You gather all the necessary information and forward it to Business Operations, who will ensure that the order is processed.
At the end of the afternoon, you review the day's order intake. The deal you closed today is included, and you see that your colleagues have also done well.
