Dustin Expo


Comments Off on Dustin Expo

Well, more than 6 months have passed since I started my graduate position in product sales. During these months my sales role has developed, I have had the opportunity to coordinate a learning event in Gothenburg which was exciting as well as getting my own customers to take care of. I learn something new every time I get to meet a customer, or all the different internal strategic meetings we have in our team.

Anyhow, on to what I wanted to write to you about. Dustin Expo! Which was hosted in Globen last week. Me and some of my sales-collegues had the opportunity to represent Fujitsu at this huge IT fair where we got to meet a lot of exciting customers as well as I had the opportunity to practice how much I have learned during these past months regarding the products and what the Fujitsu brand stands for. The picture below shows a quite smart way to showcase our vein-reader technique Palm Secure that is connected to our candy machine.

Other than that we Graduates are super excited to see all the applicants for the next Graduate positions. Hope to see some of you readers there!

 

Take care!

Training and getting to know the other graduates


Comments Off on Training and getting to know the other graduates

Hi everyone!

Long time no blogging, but the Fujitsu Graduates are back from a 2 month blog-break. We have all been busy with our different projects in our business areas, but now it’s time to share the last experience we had together when all of us had a training session in Stockholm! We also had the pleasure of welcoming our graduate colleagues from France, Belgium and Holland. Let me tell you about the days that we spend together!

The training session we had was about Sense and Respond, which is a Lean course, it aims at teaching how to do things in a more efficient way. Always looking at different processes and see how they can be done more efficient. But before the training all the Graduates came to Stockholm, Kista and we went for dinner and some drinks at the ice-bar even though there was a snow storm outside.

At the day of the training Anthony, our trainer, went through different tools within Lean. The day was great fun as it was very interactive, we even went through real work problems where we could apply the knowledge. For example, “10 second lean” which is about finding little things you do in your daily job ineffective and see how you can make this more effectively. This does not only save the organization money but also saves you time. Mine was for example that instead of refilling my water glass 3 times a day, I can instead bring my own water bottle and simply fill it once. A minor detail, but in the long run it saves money and time. This gave us tools which we can use in the future to argue for change and now which arguments are the most important. Furthermore we did some group exercises where we had to find the best way to bounce a ball between us in the least time possible. We ended up being the fastest group so far!

After the training we took the metro in to the city to eat a well-deserved meal as well as enjoying the city. We showed them around Old town and we even drank some mead.

The learning experience was really good and I had so much fun getting to know all the other graduates a bit better!

Until next time, have a good one!

Event at Kolmården


1 Comment

Hi everyone, Camilla Wigren here, the fifth and final Graduate at Fujitsu Sweden! All the graduates are, as you might have read, placed in different business areas within Fujitsu. I am placed in the best business area, product sales! From the first day everyone welcomed me with open arms and my colleagues were happy to show me around and help me with whatever I had a problem with and answer whatever questions I had (and still have). So far the last couple of weeks have passed super quickly and I have had the opportunity to follow really exciting business opportunities, sales meetings as well as going to different locations promoting the company, which makes me think of how much I have learned during these different processes, and the graduate programme has only just started!

 

But now, on to what I actually meant to write about in this post (If you have any questions regarding my position as a Graduate, feel free to comment), the event me and my team went to last week at Kolmården! This event was held by Ingram which is a distributor that we work closely with. Fujitsu was one of the main sponsors which meant that we had a booth where we displayed our products and had the opportunity to talk to almost 300 representatives from different resellers. The theme of the event was Green IT, which was very suitable for Fujitsu, since this is a big part of our philosophy. Furthermore there were lots of seminars that touched upon the subject of sustainability. During the day I really got to test my skills regarding what I have learned so far about Fujitsu as a company as well as how the products are made and how we differ from our competitors. It was a lot of fun, and challenging, to talk to all the different resellers and hear their views on what Green IT is and their opinions on Fujitsu.

 

After the intensive day we got to enjoy a great dinner where I had the opportunity to meet even more interesting people and network some more. The day after was a bit more relaxed and ended with a panel discussion which my manager participated in, as well as other representatives from other vendors. Very interesting!

 

I hope this gave you a glimpse of what life can be like as a sales associate in the graduate programme!
