What do you do in your sales role?
In my sales role I represent Hitachi Astemo with our current automotive and joint-venture customers in China, and work on new business development. As in any sales role, I track and control our margins to ensure we maintain our business unit and plant budgets in alignment with the global development team and our overall strategy to provide best solution to customer.
“ To be successful in sales, it is important to continually learn about the industry and new technologies being developed, both at Hitachi and with our competitors. I have been taught that strategy comes before detailed action. Advanced mobility development is speeding along every day. It is up to me to be knowledgeable so I can guide customers. ”
