First month at ABC TECH Group and a day in the life of Ida
Written by Ida Ćurovac, Sales Account Manager at ABC TECH Group.
First month as a part of ABC TECH Group
The first month has been anything but dull and predictive. It didn’t lack any hecticness whatsoever. At least to say it has been challenging for me, having the pandemic in mind, I couldn’t meet my coworkers face to face, nor was I able to organize a face-to-face meeting with clients, to introduce myself. Overall, the first month has been interesting, I learned that I didn’t know anything about banking core systems, that I am a complete layman when it comes to it altogether.
But thanks to my colleagues and our CEO, I was able to get a hang of it and learn quickly about ABC TECH, our products, and how to interact with our clients in the best possible way.
Day in the life of Sales Account Manager at ABC TECH Group
First, when I wake up or to say when I fully don’t wake up, I snooze my alarm clock, minimum of 3 times, as I am not a morning person at all. After my boyfriend yelling that I need to wake up and my alarm clock getting on his last nerve, I then finally proceed to get up and shower. After my shower, I indulge in a cup of coffee and start reading my e-mails.
My days are never the same, you never know what to expect. One day can be only replying to client e-mails, preparing new offers for clients, or having internal meetings with the ABC TECH team, or something popping up out of nowhere that needs my attention immediately.
Whether it is putting out fires (yes those happen, not literally) or figuring out what language my fellow developer colleagues are speaking — there is never a dull day in my working life. Every day is a rollercoaster of new activities to complete.
Jokes aside, my days are hectic and while doing this job I realized that I require more hours in the day and that I will probably need to compensate for sleep to perform on time all my duties. Scheduling client calls, following up with clients, sending out offers, internal meetings, syncing with our CEO on daily and upcoming activities and our business plans are just some of my daily tasks- there is more to it.
All put aside, I love this job, it is ever-evolving, you learn new things every day.
Do you wonder why I love this job so much? It helps you shape yourself not only as a presentable employee but as an individual as well.
It is definitely not boring, time passes by like crazy, I have amazing colleagues with 20+ years of experience who I consider my mentors, and ABC TECH itself is investing in me as they are sharing with me all the knowledge and the expertise they have. Also, I get paid to do what I like and what I am passionate about. Each day is a new adventure that I am ready to embark on, I learn even more about our products, about the banking sector in an engineering way, I am more aware of the banking apps that I have on my phone and how those are made. I don’t even look at banks the same way, now that I know how my funds get on my account and how all those transactions are processed. I am completely passionate about ABC TECH products and I cannot wait to present them to our future clients as I believe ABC TECH is making a big difference in the banking sector. I live and breathe sales and absolutely find it mesmerizing as a career choice, you learn a lot and you evolve as a person as well. Happy to be a part of the ABC TECH family, happy to see what I can bring to the table and what the future holds for both me and ABC TECH!
