It is a stimulating, but demanding and pressurised role
The role of Account Executive has provided a wealth of experience in dealing with customers and internal stakeholders within a challenging professional environment and has enabled me to build good networks and leverage effectively off these relationships, hence enabling me to perform my roles effectively and in a client centric manner.

An interesting option which is to be investigated further is to implement
An interesting option which is to be investigated further is to implement ‘voice over data’ modems. This mode would allow the use of a single telephone line for both speech and a ‘RIPDRAW session’ simultaneously (i.e. low-cost multimedia at home). Requires modems with the same capability connected to the central server
Pros: the company in general has good intentions for its employees
Cons: The management are not treating employees well and they are always protected by HR

Hennie as person
I'm a people person, and most important to me is we require happy people to be succesfull. If you do not have a good relationship with your colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders you will not be able to deliver your KPI's or the strategy of the organisation you working for. Compliance is massive in each company and to ensure all is adhere to all the time. Most difficult as I have worked accross different commodities I find professional services the most challenging to add value in my stakeholders world.
Pros: People, culture, added benefits
Cons: No promotion, favoratism

Excellent starting point of the career
Patience and calmness are the most indirectly taught virtues in this line of work because you face different kinds of customers everyday and you have to able to deal with each and every customer's query, also a listening skill is very important so you can be able to know exactly what a customer needs. Working in a team was the one of the things I enjoyed the most because I had a good relationship with my co-workers. The most challenging aspects of the job is being shortstaffed especially on the busiest days of the months, it is exhausting to work overtime you can easily make mistakes with the cash you handling.
Pros: Great opportunity for growing students in business
Cons: Long working hours and working even on weekends
