Soon as I proved my capabilities and in 2001, I had the chance to be promoted as a Commercial Support Officer where I started to follow up closely client’s offers starting with their quotations and confirming orders, payment following up then following logistics and shipments’ details along with my own office duties, and accurate timing was the key to success.
