She felt that it was time to try something new. Rebecca developed a passion for sales, service, and people through her own events company. She wanted to continue to develop this side of herself in a sales role.   “I had friends who had the same role I searched for, who told me that the industry was very open for people from various backgrounds. I also felt that it was an exciting industry with a lot of potential”, Rebecca explains.   Rebecca encountered Clevry through an ad on social media where they were looking to reinforce the sales team and applied. One and a half weeks later, she had signed.     > “I had friends who had the same role I searched for, who told me that the industry was very open for people from various backgrounds. I also felt that it was an exciting industry with a lot of potential."   “Since I was going to work with sales, it was important for me to find an employer whose brand and product I could stand behind and promote. Clevry has a [soft skills](https://hub.clevry.com/en/resources/what-are-soft-skills?hsLang=en) focused mindset, meaning that you look at the right personal qualities and not just the classic CV and hard skills. That really appealed to me. Your previous experience is not everything; it’s who you are and what drives you is what matters,” Rebecca says.   Rebecca describes herself as far from the stereotypical “salesperson” and explains that the sales role is much more humble than constant selling and being pushy.   “If you come from a different background, you can still get caught up in the role; the sales profession is all about relationships and being sensitive to the other party and listening to their needs to help them accordingly”, Rebecca says.   Rebecca describes that she believes that it is down to her highly sensitive nature that she has won many clients' trust.   “When I started as an Account Manager, I was completely new to my role and had to build up my network and client base from scratch. It has taken countless hours, many cold calls, and building clients' trust over a long period. The challenge has been to stay focused and see the bigger picture, that what I do today will generate value later on”, Rebecca continues.   There is no doubt that Rebecca’s drive, combined with her personality, is a winning concept as a salesperson. In just 1.5 years, she has built up a stable base of customers, taken on larger assignments, been promoted, and recently received Clevry’s sales award for the best seller of the year.   “Winning Kampion, Clevry’s sales award is a big milestone for me, but I also see it as a confirmation that my way of working pays off. You do not have to be the stereotypical salesperson, but I, who is more service-oriented, could be the best,” Rebecca concludes.   ### Rebecca's Top 3 soft skills ![Vilka är dina topp 3 soft skills (1)](https://hub.clevry.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Vilka%20a%CC%88r%20dina%20topp%203%20soft%20skills%20(1).png?width=300&name=Vilka%20a%CC%88r%20dina%20topp%203%20soft%20skills%20(1).png)   #### [Working at Clevry](https://www.clevry.com/en/about/careers/working-at-clevry) #### [Our Teams](https://www.clevry.com/en/about/careers/working-at-clevry/teams) #### [Career Stories](https://hub.clevry.com/en/career-stories?hsLang=en) ##### Solutions Solutions - [Assessments platform](https://hub.clevry.com/en/soft-skills-assessment) - [Recruitment & staffing](https://hub.clevry.com/en/soft-skills-recruitment) - [Bespoke assessment design](https://hub.clevry.com/en/advisory) - [Assessments catalogue](https://hub.clevry.com/sv/assessments/assessment-catalogue) - [Tech & IT training](https://hub.clevry.com/en/accelerate) - [BPS test user training](https://hub.clevry.com/en/advisory/bps-test-user-training) - [Soft skills certification](https://hub.clevry.com/en/resources/free-soft-skills-certification-course-training-course) ##### For job seekers For job seekers - [Career blog](https://hub.clevry.com/career-blog) - [Psychometric test advice](https://hub.clevry.com/en/job-seekers/psychometric-test-advice) - [Verbal reasoning test guide](https://hub.clevry.com/en/job-seekers/psychometric-test-advice/verbal-reasoning-tests) - [Free career tools](https://joy.clevry.com) - [Practice verbal test](https://app.clevry.com/VerbalPracticeTest.aspx) - [Practice numerical test](https://app.clevry.com/NumPracticeTest.aspx) ##### Resources Resources - [Customer cases](https://hub.clevry.com/en/resources/case-study/) - [Guides & downloadable resources](https://hub.clevry.com/en/resources/whitepapers-guides) - [What are soft skills?](https://hub.clevry.com/en/resources/what-are-soft-skills) ##### Recent Insights [![Clevry - Soft Skills Assessment and Recruitment](https://hub.clevry.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clevry/Logos/Clevry%20Logo%20Tagline/Clevry_Logo_White_TSSC.png?width=194&height=75&name=Clevry_Logo_White_TSSC.png "Clevry - Soft Skills Assessment and Recruitment")](http://www.clevry.com) - [Privacy Policy](https://hub.clevry.com/en/about/privacy) - [Data Security](https://hub.clevry.com/en/about/data-security) - [Cookies Policy](https://hub.clevry.com/en/about/cookies)
