Introducing: Jan van de Weijer, our new account manager

Well, Jan is not that new anymore, having been in place at Cialona for over 10 months now.
Time to tell you what keeps Jan busy!

To start at the beginning: how did you end up at Cialona?

I was involved in organizing trade shows but not directly in booth building. When the opportunity arose to work at Cialona, I didn’t have to think long. What really appeals to me is the dynamic market and work environment and you quickly see the results of your work.

What does that really mean, account manager?

My job is to ensure that new clients/projects come in and existing clients stay. Actively approaching clients (potential or existing) is very important in this. Once the request for a project comes in, I coordinate the briefing and take stock of what the goals are for the show. I then brief our designers and make the quote together with our planning and work preparation.

With the signing of the order confirmation by the client, the project is passed on to one of our project managers. Of course, I remain involved in the background and am often at the completion of the booth. We share pictures of the booth and the client’s reactions on the Cialona group app, great to see how involved everyone is within this company.

Do you have any particular passions that come in handy in this job?

Well, I really enjoy networking and meeting (new) people. Because we work for a wide variety of disciplines, it is always a challenge to offer a suitable concept. I really enjoy being the pivot in translating the customer’s wishes/exhibition goals into a unique exhibition experience with, of course, the ultimate goal being a super satisfied customer.
Never a dull moment in my job, but that is exactly what I was looking for and found!
