Sales Development Representative - Norwegian speaking (Århus)

If you can recognize this, then you are the one we are looking for!

• You like targets and measurable things as they clearly show you what you have achieved. Your goals are very important to you and achieving them one by one feels great.
• Meeting a deadline or keeping an agreement – it is not a question for you, it is a guarantee. You strive to live up to the responsibilities you take on. You really can't help it.
• You have often felt a strong drive towards goals and results. Crossing things off your to-do list makes you feel efficient – one of the best feelings you know.
• You are optimistic and always believe in the best. This applies to many areas of your life. You can easily bring out a smile in others, and you often carry one around yourself.
• In new relationships you are often very open from the start and expect others to be too. If not, they often become so once they experience your friendly and welcoming nature.
• You are action-oriented because “solutions come through action”. When problems arise and others can hit a “wall”, you roll up your sleeves and get to work to solve them.
• Competition is a great driving force, and you enjoy being measured on your performance. It is motivating when you can clearly compare your results with others.
• You can quickly grasp new knowledge because you are curious and quick to learn new things and put them to use afterwards. You find it stimulating to learn new things.
