  • System Marketing Manager

    Nokia Telecommunications

    (Public Company; Telecommunications industry)

    19961998 (2 years )

    The role of System Marketing Manager was to represent all Nokia product lines from Core Network, to Professional Services and handphone terminals, within my designated accounts, and present solutions to the customer instead of just products.
    This meant having a clear sales and marketing, technical understanding of all Nokia product lines, and being able to clearly define, and sell these products as solutions to the point where the commercial manager would finalise the financial aspects of the specific sale.
    Additional examples of this process would also be WAP Services, HSCSD, GPRS, Messaging Solutions, Micro and Pico Cellular high density radio solutions, and advanced Microwave solutions.
    All of these ‘solution’ sales would have entailed the co-operation and integration of multiple individual solutions from multiple products lines, to ensure a successful sale, implementation and launch by the customer.
    This is essentially the role of a System Marketing Manager.
