Bob, Sales Manager

"To Paraguay to visit clients."

You never know what the week will bring.

"As a Sales Manager, I oversee the commercial sales of Kleyn Trucks and, along with Purchase Manager Niels, am part of the trade management for trucks. What makes my job so enjoyable? You never know what the week—or even the day—will bring. You speak with clients you've known for years, and the trade you buy and sell is always full of surprises. For instance, a client who initially just wants to explore may end up driving away in a ‘new’ truck a few hours later."

"Kleyn gave me the space to learn Spanish"

From intern to manager

"After my internship at Kleyn in 2019, I was able to start working as a sales representative for the Dutch market. Then, someone was needed to join the Spanish-speaking team. I was more than happy to take on that role, and I thought I spoke decent Spanish… or so I thought. Kleyn gave me the opportunity to learn Spanish, and I now have a large network in the Spanish market. Some business relationships have even turned into friendships."

Adventures in Paraguay

"Recently, I went alone to Paraguay to visit clients with whom I normally only do business remotely. It was truly an adventure. At Kleyn, we know the cultures and speak the languages, but this was something quite different from Spain. It’s wonderful to visit clients and see the world through your work. What made this trip extra special was seeing our old 2000 off-road vehicle still driving around."

Champions League of the Truck World "We are determined to excel and help each other achieve the best results. At Kleyn, we are good at that. The open atmosphere and employees with a passion for the business make me feel right at home. We work hard but also have a great time. You could actually compare it to the Champions League: we play as a close team at the highest level. Few companies have been so successful at this international level for so long."
