Our very own Enterprise Account Executive Feddo Timmerman has won third place in the prestigious Young Sales Professional of 2017 award, organized by SMA. Competition was very fierce this year--there were 45 contestants in total, and Feddo passed 5 intense rounds. In total, the competition took 6 months. Feddo took the stage in the final round and gave an impressive performance.
Feddo Timmerman, 29, is Betty Blocks’ Enterprise Account Executive. He is responsible for serving our clients in the government and financial sectors. He completed his Master’s degree in Political Science, and is particularly fascinated by the US presidency. In fact, his favorite quote is by former president Ronald Reagan: “Never let the things you can’t do, stop you from doing what you can.”Above all, Feddo values authenticity, which is why he thinks it’s very important to be aware of what you can and can’t do. “Stay true to yourself,” Feddo said, “and the whole world will be there for the taking.”
About his recent success, “I am really honored to be nominated by my CEO and of course privileged to have this stage to promote myself and Betty Blocks,” Feddo said. “It’s been a truly enriching experience, both personally and business wise. I would like to thank my family and friends and especially everyone at Betty Blocks. We did this together!”
Every year, employers have the opportunity to nominate their talented employees for the Young Sales Professional of the Year award. This award honors young professionals in the Netherlands who, despite their young age, have made a substantial difference in their company. In the first round, each of the 45 contestants gives a short pitch. The top 12 contestants are then selected by the jury to go to the next round. Ultimately, there is a final competition in the Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk, in which three finalists compete for the prestigious title.
