Sales Support

“Linda is a colleague who immediately brings warmth and sociability to the team. She makes contact easily, is spontaneous and confident and approaches people without hesitation. Her eagerness to learn is immediately apparent: she wants to know everything, asks questions, dives into everything and likes to roll up her sleeves. And if anyone is not afraid to pick up the phone, it is Linda. That makes her not only a strong force in sales, but also a great colleague to work with. She is committed, positive and a valuable addition to our team.”

In conversation with Linda

Linda has always had a thing for people. Not in the form of great stories or long monologues, but in finding connection. Whether it was at the market among the fruits and vegetables, where she had her first sales experiences as a young employee, or later in commercial positions: making contact was part of her life from an early age. At the market, she learned how to really approach people, how to make conversation and, above all, how to help someone. It was cold, getting up early and hard work, but she loved it. That’s where the beginning of her love for sales was born.

From market to sales: people skills as the foundation
Through sales training and her first commercial job, she grew into inbound sales. Later she switched to outbound work and that immediately felt like coming home. Not waiting, but taking the initiative, kicking in doors, surprising people with a good conversation. For Linda this is not stress, but pleasure: reacting, switching, responding to what someone needs and getting energy out of it. She has plenty of guts and makes contact effortlessly.

A new adventure at I4-YOU
When the job opening at I4-YOU came along, it felt like everything fell together. A small team, a dynamic environment, lots of variety and a role that suited her exactly. IT was new to her, but that’s what made it interesting. The first meeting was an instant hit. There was an instant click on the phone and from day one it felt like the right choice.

The magic of IT
What Linda finds so surprising about IT is how many possibilities it offers. She finds it impressive that with the right knowledge you can create solutions that really help organizations move forward. It never ceases to amaze her how technology makes processes smarter, creates structure and supports people in their daily work. That’s exactly what motivates her to keep delving deeper into this world.

A team to grow in
What also struck her immediately was the team. Not only diverse in age and characters, but especially in energy. Open, warm, down-to-earth and above all: together. No typical hierarchy.

Since her start Linda feels that this is exactly the place where she can continue. She gets the space to learn, to ask questions, to watch and to discover the world of IT and I4-YOU step by step. Her eagerness to learn, energy and open attitude ensure that she quickly found her niche. And what makes it even more fun: the team is always ready to think, explain and build together. For Linda, that is the perfect combination.
