Praxia Morkel, 46 years old and living in Thabazimbi has been in many various fields of the industry. My first field was Sales and Marketing of various products. As I have done a few courses of sales and marketing I enjoyed the challenge of the industry.
I started enjoying the serious side of the sales industry, technology.
It made sales sense.
I have had the privilege of working with the companies with likes of Grinel Communications, Avaya, Altech, Samsung and Orange in London to name a few. I have also worked in Botswana on the Jwaneng mines creating pax's and backbones with fibre and RF. I have done projects with the Department of Justice whereby all the networks had to upgraded to fibre links as well as the maintenance solutions. I also enjoyed the new technology of premicells and pico cells. UNISA's software upgrade was a great experience. I have also attended many courses whereby cabling and fibre was the subject.
I then entered the culinary industry of which it is very interesting and satisfying yet Sales and its magic still runs deep.
Throughout my career I have been privileged to gain knowledge from the old stable platforms and apply this whilst integrating into the new way. With my experience of marketing I also learned that the client needed to be understood before I could be understood.
