After
my
studies,
I
started
directly
with
the
marketing
of
electronic
components.
The
digital
age
was
in
its
adolescent
phase,
bits
and
bytes
had
to
be
processed
faster
with
appropriate
hardware
components
and
with
more
memory.
The
electronics
industry was forced to develop even better and faster computers.
The
market
for
electronic
components
was
booming.
As
branch
manager,
I
built
up
two
branches
in
Berlin.
During
these
12
years,
I
internalized
how
individual
customers
"tick"
and
how
sensitively
the
market
reacted
to
changes,
such
as
component
shortages.
Solid
product
and
marketing
management
were
the
cornerstones
for
a
competitive
and
successful
existence
in
the
market.
I
was
able
to
make
full
use
of
this
experience
at
a
manufacturer
of
VoIP
telephones.
Landline
telephones
were
disappearing
more
and
more,
telephone
booths
were
only
found
in
villages
-
mobile
devices
took
over
the
communications
leadership.
For
a
manufacturer
who
still
produced
corded
telephones
with
handsets,
it
was
a
matter
of
placing
his
product
as
well
as
possible
on
the
market
in
order
to
be
able
to
continue
to
exist
alongside
these
mobile
devices.
Targeted
trade
show
appearances,
customer
events,
articles
in
trade
magazines.
Social
media
activities
became
a
must.
The
daily
flow
of
information to users was mandatory.
