In 2021, Megan (26) started as account manager at DPG Media. She works with a young and dynamic team. “What I like most is that I deal with many different customers and can express my creativity.” DPG Media is looking for more enthusiastic account managers. Something for you?
Megan had no experience yet account manager, but she dared to take a leap of faith. That was a good choice. She says: “In my previous job I missed customer contact. I have that now. You build a bond with customers.”
Warmly received
Megan sent in her application letter and the next morning she received a call asking if she could come by. “It all went very smoothly and quickly.” The fact that she had no experience was absolutely no problem. “Of course, you learn most in practice. And I also joined a team with many great colleagues. Everyone is there for each other.”
She ended up in a warm bath. In addition to the team helping her, DPG-wide also pays a lot of attention to new colleagues. Megan: “During the onboarding you will learn everything about the company and the products we have. So in your first weeks you really get to know DPG well.”
Your own sauce
After the onboarding Megan was allowed to start immediately. “Of course it is quite exciting in the beginning,” she says. “But don’t be afraid! You go to colleagues’ appointments and experience how sales conversations are conducted. You can do whatever you want with that: you are free to add your own sauce. That makes it authentic and then such a conversation happens automatically.”
Neighborhood entrepreneurs
Megan enjoys working with marketing and media. There was also something that attracted her to the work: “I was able to work near my hometown. I experience that as a huge plus. I already knew some entrepreneurs and more importantly: I know the mentality. That ensures that you click more quickly.”
The company moves with the times
Megan has now been enjoying her work for over 2 years. Is it still as fun as it was at the start? “It exceeded my own expectations,” she says. “It’s really cool to work at such a big company. DPG moves with the times. The company continues to develop and therefore you also continue to learn.”
