Case studies : Sales Executive at RSC: Richard Blount

Richard Blount is a Sales Executive with RSC. After studying media and cultural studies at Nottingham Trent University he worked in recruitment sales for a digital media company.

I was aware the organisation had been rapidly expanding and I liked a lot of things that they were doing. The products were excellent and everyone I knew who worked there spoke highly of the organisation. It wasn't long before I was applying for a job online and after my second interview, I was offered a job the same evening.

Now, a typical day involves dealing directly with customers in the Republic of Ireland - answering queries, contacting people and developing new business. I've learned a lot in terms of pricing and negotiation, as well as new software products and content management systems. I spend around 20% of my week out of the office meaning my day is always varied and I'm never bored. This is the first time I've worked in an organisation which is recognised around the world.
