Mario van Koeveringe<\/h2>\n

Mario van Koeveringe<\/h2>\n

Mario van Koeveringe is 19 years old and comes from Oosterland. From holiday worker to mechanic, from mechanic to sales engineer, and now he is studying Sales & Account Management at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences to eventually advance to account manager.<\/p>\n

In touch with Flikweert Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

His introduction to the company began through a conversation with service engineer Coen. \u201cHe then put me in touch with Stefan, one of the owners. From then on, the ball started rolling.\u201d Mario deliberately chose Flikweert Vision. \u201cI was looking for a company that really means something in engineering with a nice team. Here, we don't think up standard solutions, but build something that really helps the customer move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

From vacationing to finding direction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mario started at Flikweert Vision as a holiday worker during holidays and on Saturdays. After havo, he deliberately took a gap year. \u201cI didn't know exactly what I wanted to study and had seen school for a while. So I decided to take a gap year and start working at Flikweert Vision as a mechanic. I immediately felt welcome.\u201d After that year, he started an engineering course, but soon found that this didn't quite suit him after all. Meanwhile, he had progressed to the role of sales engineer within Flikweert Vision, which allowed him to discover at first hand what he really liked. \u201cBecause I was allowed to do different things, I discovered that the commercial part suited me much better than the technical part.\u201d He took the final step when he started studying Sales & Account Management. \u201cThat course fits well with the direction I want to go in: Account Manager.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\u201cI was looking for a company that really means something in engineering with a fun team.\u201d<\/h3>\n

From mechanic to sales<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of his biggest challenges within Flikweert Vision was the transition from being an engineer to sales engineering. \u201cTwo completely different roles, but precisely because of that I learned a lot.\u201d Now he is taking the next step: moving up to account manager. What drives him? \u201cEvery day is different. I love challenges. I visualize integrations for customers and support dealers all over the world. Helping them with their sales process gives me energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working in a young, friendly team<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Mario, the work atmosphere is essential. \u201cThe team is young, fun, and friendly. Colleagues quickly feel like friends, something I\u2019ve never experienced before during internships and previous workplaces.\u201d In addition, he appreciates the significance that Flikweert Vision has for customers. \u201cWe truly offer solutions. It\u2019s nice to see that our machines matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growth, opportunity and confidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within Flikweert Vision, Mario got the chance to look everywhere. \u201cI walked along in almost every department. This allowed me to discover what I liked and what I am good at.\u201d His proudest moment? \u201cThe project in Poland. I took care of the entire layout in consultation with our representative and the customer. I was given full confidence in this. It's nice to see this installation running in the end, which is satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides his job and education, Mario is under the bar at football and enjoys being with friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":1310,"parent":0,"template":"","verhaal_type":[19],"class_list":["post-1309","employee_story","type-employee_story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","verhaal_type-medewerker-verhaal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBehind the vision | Mario -
