At LBM I worked on three different campaigns on behalf of Vodafone.

  • The second campaign was winback, we rang customers who left Vodafone and brought them back from a different network. 
  • The final campaign I worked on was MBB EBU, we had to sell additional products B2B, we had to find a need or if that wasn’t possible, we had to create a need.

Reason for Leaving: Unhappy with the business culture and lack of career prospects.
