Our Account Manager at FeedbackFrog, Malin Engvall tells us why she is passionate about sales and why she chose FeedbackFrog as her employer – despite never working in a scale-up before.
I’m actually doing my internship while I am also working as an Account Manager. Since I am studying Account Management, it was a great opportunity to work 50% and do my internship 50%. That is one of the many things I appreciate with FeedbackFrog: The solution-oriented attitude and willingness to help and care about their employees. Besides the fact that it is a scale-up with 8 people working here, I have worked in some large corporations before and it is not always the company size that determines the atmosphere. It is usually the people – in my experience.
What have I done so far and how has it been?
- Attended sales meetings with both our founder and CEO Amanda Lilja and our Sales Manager Tina Nasr. It has felt strange not being able to answer any follow-up questions but it is part of the journey to learn. Sometimes it has felt ok and sometimes it’s been quite frustrating.
- Initiated things outside of my role to be a team player, such as helping out with team day activities
- For the first time at a job: Spoken English on a daily basis, even if it sometimes becomes a mix of Swenglish, and being okay with that!
- At times doubted myself and the choice to join a scale-up in a development phase.
Did it live up to my expectations?
Despite having to calm myself every now and then with the reminder and belief that things always work out – you know what! I don’t regret for a second that I chose to hop on this train. Even though there’s a lot we need to figure out over time, but we learn from it and it’s amazing to see how we develop together as a team.
I highly recommend anyone to at least try working in a scale-up company, dare to do it! You won’t regret it!
What’s next?
