The start of my career at The Ambitious Group
For as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued by sales. I started as an “entrepreneur” at the age of 10, selling my homemade “newspaper” in the neighborhood. By the time I was 20, I had started my official sales career and was managing multiple direct-sales teams. After a few years I took a wrong step towards managing a call center, in which it lacked future perspective. Of course, I wanted to apply at APG immediately when I heard about it via a friend, because the vacancy said “the chance to help open a new office”. That is what I did and if I am honest, what I have been doing with APG ever since.

My biggest successes so far
Proving myself as a recruitment consultant first, having grown towards a successful sales manager now. In the beginning of my career I grew as a consultant by achieving results, winning company incentives like our Mystery Trip (twice), visiting many Lunch Ups and being able to make two promotion in the first year! After that, it was time for me to be teaching others. These days I can see that the people I have hired, trained and developed are becoming outstanding recruiters or even managers themselves!

My biggest challenges
The downfall of having “unlimited opportunities”, in my personal experience, is that you might take them too much, too fast. The last years I have opened 6-7 offices for APG in Europe. Every time was an amazing challenge and I have loved that rush! What I have learned though is that I can definitely find excitement in creating sustainably successful and growing offices as well! Before “moving on to the next opportunity”. So my challenge? Do not take an opportunity too fast and enjoy this amazing ride!

My future plans at The Ambitious Group
Becoming the most successful Sales Manager there is within TAG, grow my offices even more, opening up new offices and even countries again. Most of all: contribute to the successful career of more recruiters and future business leaders. Develop them to a level better than I ever was!
