One of the biggest challenges is to differentiate themselves in a saturated market. “I believe our team have a lot of passion for what we do and we are very service-driven and in the end, hard work always pays off,” she says.The most challenging aspect of this job is the building of relationships, she says: “It is the most challenging, getting someone to believe in your product and to trust you.” Success in this position“I think success in this position is the feeling of satisfaction of accomplishing what you planned to do, and a burning desire to do more. I measure success by way of satisfaction, effort and a positive attitude. I will always go the extra mile and provide my best. I will do everything with integrity and trust to reach a goal or complete a task. “To measure success by way of satisfaction is difficult because one will always strive to be better, but I have concluded that I can be satisfied and still pursue more. I think it is good to feel satisfied with my results as it is a celebration of small victories along the way,” Venter adds.Venter intends to continue her studies because in the words of Nelson Mandela, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. “I am going to strive to climb the corporate ladder by taking all the opportunities available,” she says.
