CRISTINA SERRACANT

Meet Cristina Serracant, Manager Sales Engagement Systems, based in Barcelona, Spain. “I manage customer relations by being a liaison between my company and our clients and prospects. I analyze clients’ and prospects’ needs and challenges to understand how to make them happy by delivering lasting value. The world is more digital than ever, so it’s essential to find the right channels to engage with people in the most effective ways, enhance one-to-one relationships and build trust. Across all regions, I leverage multiple channels to build the most effective communication approach. It’s about bringing departments together and working as a team to keep everyone—most of all our clients and prospects—happy.”
