About Preetam Chougule

I always knew I wanted to be in Sales when I thought about my career in my final year of engineering. Either it is about selling a product or equipment, or travelling around the country I was up for it. I had always dreamt about the role and yes I’m living that dream role all the way till date. The entire journey started from school and college where I knew I had the ability of public speaking, presentation skills, team player and so on. With playing Sports all across school, college and participating in various sports and cultural events. I had already developed the skill of a team player and a leader. In addition I was a NCC Cadet under Air Wing branch during my college which speaks itself about being disciple and motivated in life. After my graduation I got selected into Direct sales selling large machinery at Jyoti CNC, from there to selling manufacturing software at OpenMind completely shifted my focus into software. While manufacturing was showing slow growth I had to take major decision to shift my career from manufacturing software sales to IT software sales, hence got an opportunity at Tech Data to sell so called SaaS software products via channel partners where I got introduced to Channel ecosystem. From Tech Data - Yellow.ai - Zoho I’m loving Channel sales. I should be proudly saying I have been doing good in these roles across companies.Outside my work I spend time playing sports like football, hockey and cricket.(I’m very bad at video games ) Training my son be a sports enthusiast and trying to be a good parent. Happy Parents = Happy Kids (I realised over period this is very true) Life is all about hustle, get out from your comfort zone and learn new things everyday and try to be a good human being. Work for yourself, build the skills for yourself. Work is part of your life which gives you experiences, motivation, memories and life lessons- Hope I’m not sounding spiritual and philosophical 🤣My favourite quote for all young and so called experienced people - No matter how you feel - Get up, Dress up, Show up and Never Give up! Happy selling and be proud at what you do
