It was not a pure managing postiton (I had no team to care of) but it included a lot more responsibilities then the traditional sales representative work. The brand was not well known in CZ, so the company decided to hire me as a support.

Royal Canin CZ&SK - Sales representative, South Moravia and Vysočina

Thanks to the potential this market brings (and I can say it still has some of that) it was possible to offer quality products to more and more retailers. Thanks to this (I am not going to lie here, it was one of the factors of delivered results) and my systematic work I was able to deliver ambitious targets all the time and also double my turnover during this period.
