Meet João, an internal sales representative at Dell Technologies Brazil. João started at Dell as an intern and worked his way up to his current role as an internal sales representative. In this interview, we delve into his journey in the company, exploring his experiences, insights and company culture. 

  

What brought you to Dell Technologies?  

What brought me to Dell Technologies was the size of this organization. Participating in the selection processes before joining was something sensational for me. It has always been a dream to work here. I started as an intern in the sales department. I spent two years in that role. When my internship was ending, I had the opportunity to be hired as an internal sales representative. Currently, I have direct contact with clients. I seek new business opportunities for Dell, ensuring they come through my channel of service. This helps establish a good relationship between Dell and the client, allowing them to have the experience they desire based on Dell’s offerings.

What is the best part of working at Dell? 

The flexibility and connections. I get to interact with various people from different areas, build a network, and explore new ideas by connecting with colleagues within Dell. Also, the trust that leaders place in all employees is fundamental. When leaders trust us, the results are delivered more smoothly and effectively. This makes Dell the perfect place to begin your career, because here, you can develop in various ways and across different areas. Our leaders have great confidence in us, which is crucial during the early stages of our careers. Having that freedom and tranquility allows us to work effectively and deliver excellent results in the end. 

 

How do you find purpose in your work?  

I feel fulfilled following Dell’s purpose. Just as Dell believes, I also believe that technology can change the world—and it has been doing so. Considering the humanitarian aspect, it makes perfect sense. In today’s technology-driven world, my work plays a crucial role. I have the power to deliver the technology our clients need, build relationships, and help them stay updated and grow on a human level.

Can you share examples of how Dell Technologies has helped you grow personally and professionally? 

Dell has contributed to my personal and professional growth in various ways. Before joining Dell, I had a different perception of what it would be like here. Upon arrival, I realized the importance of creating connections. Through these connections, we learn, exchange experiences, build networks and establish interesting relationships. Personally and professionally, Dell has helped me with organization and planning. As a multinational company, Dell’s clear purpose and planning empower me to strive for more. In the sector where I currently work, we often say the sky’s the limit, and Dell encourages us to explore that limit. The more we explore, dedicate ourselves and focus on what needs to be done, the more natural progress becomes. 

   

How is diversity and inclusion demonstrated here? 

Diversity and inclusion are demonstrated here in various ways. Currently, we have several Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that encourage these actions. Being part of one of these groups makes me very happy because here, gender, color, race, ethnicity—none of it matters. The ERGs also promote development programs, and I was part of the GenNext GenUp Development Program. This program allows us to connect with people from other areas and leadership positions. It’s a great opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange experiences, truly build a valuable network and develop skills.
