I am an Inside Sales Representative (ISR) at Dell Technologies. I joined Dell as an ISR through the UR program last year. I decided to start my career in sales because I believe it to be the heart of business success, as the main role of sales – effectively pitching and marketing products and services – is a key to the company’s revenue generation. Recognizing the ubiquity and essentiality of IT systems in today's industries, I was naturally drawn to the growing market of IT products and solutions. This interest motivated me to apply to Dell Technologies, a company that offers a wide array of products and solutions tailored for IT environments, believing that this opportunity would not only allow me to expand my knowledge in the IT domain but would also grant me the satisfaction of providing efficient, tailored systems to clients. Having spent nearly two years at Dell, I would like to share the aspects in which I have been able to grow based on my experiences thus far in my journey.

In my capacity as an ISR at Dell, I actively collaborate with various business units (BUs) to grasp the specific requirements of our clients’ industries. I then leverage this understanding to propose solutions for the establishment of efficient IT infrastructures. There is no denying that comprehending our products and services is of paramount importance in possessing expertise in sales, given that the core of our responsibilities revolves around explaining our solutions. To better enhance our expertise as an ISR, Dell provides a well-structured training program, which strengthens our understanding in current IT trends and terms, sales activities and strategies. With this training, I have had the privilege of acquiring insights into diverse approaches, equipping me to apply them effectively in accordance with each and every unique situation.

Participating in the company's mentoring program has enabled me to engage in meaningful discussions and accumulate valuable insights by collaborating with technical sales experts across diverse domains. These interactions have not only expanded my outlook but also allowed me to fine-tune my personal sales methodology. With the overarching objective of acquiring a well-rounded expertise and drawing from a variety of experiences, I am dedicated to further refining my effective sales approach. I aspire to offer guidance aimed at optimizing the efficiency of our clients' IT system operations, and more ambitiously, actively contributing to the growth of our clients.
