A

To be part of a highly competitive company that would afford me the opportunity to grow in the working environment, and be part of a progressive team that works with enthusiasm and passion. Basically want to soak in as much knowledge as I possibly can.

Pros: Achieve sales and volume targets as per the business objectives. Implement and increase awareness of the strategic focus drive initiatives. Increase sales coverage by identifying new sales prospects. Achieve cold space targets in order to optimize sales. Build effective working relationships with customers. Optimize resources to achieve sales and volume targets. Providing timeous feedback on issues such as competitor activity, areas of improvement on efficiencies or any other issues that need attention and quick solutions.
Cons: Coordination of all sales. Managing the company master data base. Calling and updating information. Assist with the marketing objective of the company.

Gaining experience

Good day To whom it may concern Working at distell is good for gaining experience but the work is limited there are days that I don't even get called in for work and leads to a huge loss in my pocket . I am hard working and would like to work everyday to earn a full salary but working in these conditions won't allow me too .

Pros: Great opportunity to gain experience
Cons: Not even getting work on some days.

I manage to learn and enjoy every busy moment

We worked as a family. I also had the opportunity to work out side my work space evolving myself in other duties and helping other departments. Every day was a challenge. Distell is changing their way of working and i was lucky to be apart of most of the changes. I learned in my self that their is nothing i cant learn and master on my own. I enjoyed logistics the most as it cover a big range of different challenges everyday. The biggest challenge was the internal changes you had to keep an open mind and adapt fast. People i feel relied om me to stay with the changes so i can give the other support. The DSD transport system was the most challenging but i got it. To name the stuff i did in a day i find impossible. I worked with sales, warehouse, logistic, customer service, credit control, transport department, out side transporters, IT .......Resolving queries, helping with documentation, sorting stock, pulling sales figures for customers.... thanks

Pros: Learning, promotion, people i worked with
Cons: the heart sore of seeing people leave and the time that it was for me to leave
