I have put tp pratice what i have learnt
I have joined this company in 2014, its been a nice experience, 2 and a half year managing people and upskilling people. My fellow co workers used to look for me for help and assistance which made me feel good,i had a excellent relationship with my co workers,I have learnt that i need to listen to one rather than run my jaws, also i jave learnt that couching an individual is better than just looking to taking corrective action,when i joined this company i never dealt with a certain supplier it took me a month to master the concept,procedures and the rules of maintaing a healty relationship with that supplier. I enjoy managing people,putting up displays, speaking to and understanding retailers. Most challenging,is to attend to a store issue when there is no merchandiser and the company does not want to have a relief person as a back up due to saving cost, but i never leave the customer unsatsified.
Pros: great for promotion
Cons: lots of travel throught the country.

Experience and learning curve
Diplomat SA is a reputable multi cultural company with a very good product basket to work with it feels like family and they treat their employees well and I love my everyday job and the challenges that I take on daily with different customers, my five years with the company has told me a lot from dealing to being responsible for spends making sure that I spend sparingly with my customers. What I enjoy most is when I seat with my client to do orders daily and making sure I don't leave their store without making an impact. The most challenging put of my work is when my smaller customer need the same benefit as my bigger customers were as they are unable to push more volume.
Pros: opportunity to grow within the structures of the organisation
Cons: putting extra effort on every project whether big or small.
