PS! Beatriz is currently looking for B2B/B2B2C Sales Rep to join her team! 

🔥 How did you find your passion for Sales?

I was unhappy as a lawyer. I worked on the legal transaction teams at Uber in Brazil and was responsible for drafting contracts for other teams, such as sales and business development. I noticed that what they do fits my personality more, and I wanted to negotiate deals and not only draft contracts. After this experience, I got my first job at a Colombian unicorn company called Rappi and immediately noticed that this job is for me!

❓ What did you do before joining INZMO?

I was the Chief Sales Officer at Loovara. I built and managed a team of 7 people to sell condoms and lubricants globally. I oversaw the growth of over 200% and onboarded more than 40 customers and distributors. Before Loovara, I worked in an aggregator choosing what companies to buy, a sex toy company doing global business development, and an açaí company as a Country Manager for Germany and Switzerland.

In Brazil, I worked for Rappi, Uber and in New York for the United Nations. My first job in Europe was at INZMO, and I am happy to be back "home" after gathering all this experience.

💼 What type of manager are you?

As a manager, I lead by example to inspire my team and drive them toward achieving goals and personal growth. I am a supportive, empathic leader who strives to empower and motivate my team members. I trust the individuals I work with and avoid micromanaging. Whenever support is needed, I am readily available. Additionally, I believe in fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment where every team member feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

🥇 What are your values as a manager and team leader?

As a manager and team leader, my values encompass perseverance, commitment, transparency, flexibility, ownership, and respect. I prioritize open and transparent communication, ensuring everyone is well-informed and has a voice. While I value work ethics, I also embrace flexibility, understanding that as long as the work is getting done, I do not need to control how many breaks team members are taking.

💪 How do you motivate your team members?

I strongly believe in tailoring my approach to each team member, recognizing that motivation can vary from person to person. I take the time to understand their individual strengths, interests, and goals to provide them with the necessary support and resources for their success. I create a sense of purpose and direction by setting clear and challenging goals. Moreover, I foster open dialogue, inviting their ideas and feedback, which empowers them and cultivates a sense of ownership.

🛠️ What traits are you looking for in people when hiring them?

When hiring, I seek individuals with a strong work ethic, dynamism, and a growth mindset. I expect my team members to embrace full ownership from the beginning and enjoy tackling challenges. Adaptability and flexibility in a fast-paced environment are crucial. While I am willing to provide coaching and guidance in other areas, proactivity and a willingness to grow are the most important traits I look for.
