A day in the life of...


- You get into the office early so you can prepare for the meetings that day and touch base with colleagues and your manager to share successes or challenges your clients are facing.

- In between visits, you may start looking at planning for an event you're helping to lead on, to further increase the visibility of Nestlé's presence in the nutrition market. Whether it's an MOH led event, or one that Nestlé is driving, you'll get the chance to lead projects and events outside of your day to day activities
- You look at how competitors are performing in the pharmacies or other health care centres, and ensure you're sharing this intel with your colleagues
- Before you finish for the day, you send reminders to a group of clients who you're hosting for a round table discussion next week.
