This month, our blog shines a spotlight on our dynamic sales team! Join us as we learn a little bit more about some of the team.
The sales team consists of Richard, Sam, James, Tommy, John, Andrea and Hugo. With years of experience collectively in the packaging industry, we are proud of the teams’ efforts and achievements.
If they’re not in the office, building relationships with our account management team, you’ll often find them out on the road engaging with our valued customers and creating new opportunities with potential clients.
We sat down with the team to get a glimpse into their daily routines and experiences:
“There’s no such thing as a typical day for a Tyler salesperson. That’s the beauty of the job. It’s all about aligning customer needs with our production and logistics capabilities.
Our days often start with a morning coffee as we check through emails. The most rewarding moments are visiting customers, and time spent at the office is productive and enjoyable. Occasionally, we travel to manufacturing sites, which, while less frequent, is sometimes necessary. Even the less glamorous task of managing emails is crucial. As Rudyard Kipling might put it, ‘If you can keep all the plates spinning, and still find time to be proactive, then yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.’”
