Extensive Learning Curve
Moving from Merchandising to a Key Account Management position for Converse was a huge step, and an incredible learning curve. My daily work duties are detailed in my CV, and I get on quite well with my co-workers and juniors. I enjoy interaction with my Customers at all levels, and have grown the brand despite all the financial setbacks during the past financial year with Nene-Gate etc. Unfortunately the different departments within Skye Distribution is not synchronized, putting huge pressure on relationships with Customers due to orders not being fulfilled on time and to order. I enjoyed the creative side and challenge of designing a range of handbags whilst employed at Busby House, and also loved being involved in the costume jewellery industry, more so than the sneaker industry.
Pros: Regular travel to Cape Town as all my customers have their Head Office in the Mother City.
Cons: Long, stressfull working hours, virtually no support from management, staff reduced and customers increased.

Great learning curve, but a lack of career growth opportunities. Minimal training offered.
A company with great brands, but a lack of understanding on how to sufficiently run some of these brands in the South African market. I've gained a lot of experience in National Key Account Management and Business Development Management, working with some of the biggest retailers in this country! I really enjoy the Business Development side of it, as it's challenging and I get to delve into new channels such as marketing, product development and buying as well as establishing new distribution channels for the Brand in SA. As a team player, I've always had a good working relationship with my co-workers (team)
Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: Minimal growth opportunities, poor remuneration and perks, old school company culture

Have good experience in processing customers orders.
I have the right experience in checking orders using invoice,make corrections where possible, also do adjustment by require short staff if identified and make it to balance according to requirement of an invoice. This work environment is challenging every day because it needs a detailed attention because we are dealing with different customers. The relationship is good because we work as a team to achieve one goal of finishing the orders and bring them to dispatch department. I enjoyed mostly to take the leadership role when processing the order,by counting the stock,check if is correct,take the labels with the right order number and give it to the people so that they can put it to the products. The most challenging aspect is to make sure that you match the right labels to the right customer order number and to the right stock that is complete after counting the stock.
Pros: The next level is to be promoted to be a a team leader
Cons: When required by the company we do work over time.
