Mid-Career Recruitment

I am responsible for corporate sales of a new coffee brand with the aim of increasing its market share.

The company began handling COSTA Coffee, one of the largest coffee brands in Europe, in 2020, and we are creating a market for it in Japan. In order to increase the market share of this new brand, I am responsible for sales to corporations, which are mostly major food and drink chains. We are always striving to create proposals to solve problems faced by customers, and with COSTA Coffee, we engage in sales activities that focus on the coffee's high quality in order to make agreements with new customers and also to increase the number of orders from existing customers. We can expect sales routes to expand as brand recognition increases.

I meet with many people inside and outside of the company, and this helps with personal growth.

My current work related to COSTA Coffee sometimes requires work across departments. By sharing information and engaging in sales activities with soft drink sales staff responsible for the same customer, I think I have established many more relationships across the company. There are opportunities to meet and cooperate with many employees from Coca-Cola (Japan), etc. Each person has a different set of values, and I am able to grow by learning new things through each interaction.

I have a flexible working style that contributes to emotional fulfillment and work performance.

The company encourages a work style that values a work/life balance. The company recently introduced a super flextime system that achieves a greater degree of work flexibility. Our superiors regularly state that a fulfilling private life provides emotional fulfillment, but physical and emotional fulfillment also improve work performance. My current goal is to increase the market share of COSTA Coffee, but another goal is to be actively involved in creating a work environment where department members can work while being emotionally fulfilled.
