I was at the National Sales Conference in 2022 where I met and interviewed with Shyann Anderson for the Inside Sales Associate role. She sold me on this developmental program. My experience working at Convatec has been amazing. Upon joining the continence team at Convatec I came with brand management experience, but not direct selling exposure. Here at Convatec I was not only taught about the products but, how to sell based on Convatec’s selling model. I am able to work with Shyann who introduced me to the company and has truly mentored me. I also get the opportunity to work with a cohesive team where we embody the motto: we are better together, no one is left behind. As a diverse employee the culture is all inclusive and supportive and I feel like I belong here.
As an Inside Sales Associate my role is to provide clinical support and educational resources to urology clinics. By doing this I generate sales for the Convatec Continence portfolio. This is truly a developmental program. As an ISA I get the opportunity to work cross functionally with trainers, program managers, and colleagues as I navigate my learning journey. I get the freedom to "fail forward', as mistakes are learning opportunities.
My management team has selected me to be mentored to become an Inside Sales Trainer. In January I will take on that role as a part of my overall developmental plan
When I interviewed with Shyann at the NSN, recognizing that she was a black leader, I asked the question surrounding diversity and inclusion at Convatec. She spoke not only about the growth opportunities for diverse candidates, but also the impact our quality products and services has on the patients we serve every day. This is an amazing company that will help you get to the next level within your career journey. The leadership knows how to connect with and empower its employees. Convatec is a growing and innovative company. Our bridge is the ‘forever caring’ promise, there will always be room to make an impact.
