Emanuele Bassi

I am an export manager with many years of sales experience in all European countries. My focus is the acquisition of new clients and managing key accounts in the retail, food service and wholesale channels. I provide in-depth analysis of target markets, identifying market opportunities and developing effective entry and development plans through a comprehensive and targeted perspective. I negotiate business conditions, prepare product presentations, and actively participate to private label tenders.

My main tasks by Modena Estense were the management of Key Accounts and the acquisition of new customers. I was responsible for the development of the assortment in line with our brand values. As CEO I was responsible for operating plans, corporate profits and had contacts with authorities and banks. As International Key Account Manager, I was responsible for participating to tenders for the private label of food products. This required close cooperation with suppliers and partners.

I worked by Wewalka as Export Area Manager, and I was responsible for managing Key Accounts and acquiring new customers in Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, France, and Belgium. Price negotiations and the negotiation of framework agreements were among my main tasks. In some of these markets we worked through agents and importers, and we offered both private label and products with our own brand. I worked closely with our R&D, production, logistics and marketing departments.

I began as Key Account Manager for the Italian Market. I was responsible for managing Key Accounts and acquiring new customer. Later, I became responsible for the whole export and became CEO of the Italian branch. My team consisted of seven people (Key Account Managers, Sales Representatives, and back office). I developed the sales network, set up the logistics, I organized and participated to trade shows. I was responsible for operating plans, corporate profits and had contacts with authorities and banks.

I worked with my own business in the field of facility services (maintenance of buildings).

My main goals were increasing the turnover, improving market penetration, and acquiring new customers in my sales area. My tasks included preparing product offers, negotiating prices and business conditions, the implementation of sales activities and the organization of promotional plans with clients.

This was my first job after school. My task was the project and the production of dental implants.
