“We are probably the loudest team at FLSK”

With eight members, the sales team is not only the largest team at FLSK, but also the driving force behind the company. It's here that curious and interested customers become enthusiastic customers.

Seven of the team members sit in their Munich office, which is characterized primarily by its huge blue wall and the enormous noise level. Of course, this is only due to the many phone calls being conducted there and not the motivating music… luckily the walls and doors are soundproof!

The sales team enjoys being together even outside of their daily tasks. This diverse group gets along well and supports each other in all challenges.

Great work with a great team

Volker has been with FLSK since April 1, 2019. Initially, he worked as an assistant operating the laser, creating precise engravings on FLSK products. He then moved into customer service and eventually landed in sales, where he has found his current professional fulfillment.

What does Volker do all day? He advises customers, makes offers, and creates orders. Occasionally, Volker represents the company at trade fairs across Europe, offering his expertise on FLSK drinking bottles, FLSK coffee mugs, and other products. He is also responsible for the operational side of the Amazon vendor.

Volker enjoys his area of ​​responsibility. But the interpersonal aspect is just as important to him. And that's a great fit for him at FLSK. Volker sums it up like this: great work with a great team. We have nothing to add to that!

What does your typical workday look like?

At the beginning of every workday, I have to "battle" with the elevator. I'm happy when the door opens on the first try! Otherwise, it's just a case of pushing and waiting. Once I get to the top, I get a coffee and chat with our office soul, Marzia. Then I answer emails, create orders, and handle customer requests over the phone.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I also have Amazon orders and invoices on my desk. Lunch is fairly regular at 12 o'clock. We all work hard, but we also always have time to chat with colleagues or play table tennis. It's this sense of community that makes the workday special.

What do you like most about FLSK?

What I like about FLSK is that I feel completely at home. This is mainly due to two things: First, that I'm completely accepted as I am. I don't have to pretend.

And secondly, you can talk about anything, and if it's possible, your wish will be made possible. The company is very flexible and social in this regard. This benefits me and my family greatly.

I'm also impressed by the expertise of my colleagues in all areas. You can really ask them anything!
