Work experience

During my time as a Sale intern at Kellogg’s, I was given the opportunity to work close with the Field Sales team and Key Account Managers (KAM) of SPAR, Pick n Pay, Woolworth and Boxer. This allowed me to have a holistic view of how Sales work in the F.M.C.G industry. I first started working very close with the Field Sale team and Smollan. I worked with the Regional and National Field Sales Mangers and Kellogg’s Dedicated Representatives (KDR) going store to store working on distribution gaps, driving the highest standards of execution as per the look of success and helped coordinate tailored brand activities in stores. I was given the opportunity to negotiate with managers to sign in promotions and allow us to have addition space within stores. I helped set up trade shows and had great communicative relationships with merchandisers and store managers. I then started working in Modern Trade with the KAMs of SPAR, Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Boxer. Where I was more involved in the operational space speaking to Spar and PnP Dc’s getting orders, checking stock on hand, days cover and monitoring how we are performing at store level and how we can improve it. I align the field team on what product lines need attention and speak to the Smollan team on ideas how we can get more store orders from stores, improve lacking store performance and how we can maintain performing stores.
