Technical sales representative at Anton Paar Colombia presenting analytical instrumentation solutions to customers.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
At Anton Paar Colombia, I present technical proposals and application-based solutions for analytical laboratory instrumentation, identifying customer needs through in-person and virtual visits in Colombia and Ecuador.
I manage the sales cycle, from generating opportunities and following up to customer meetings, technical presentations, negotiations, and closing deals. I also use a CRM system to track customer and sales activity.
I install and commission laboratory instruments, including density meters, viscometers, flash point testers, and distillation units, and provide user training, technical consulting, and post-sales support.
Earlier, as a laboratory technician at Biotechnology Institute, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, I monitored fermentation, prepared growth media, and measured process and product properties. My background also includes developing technical knowledge of rheometers, extruders, and surface characterization instruments at Anton Paar Colombia.
