This year has been a big one for us at SalesScreen. We grew significantly in many ways and faced some inevitable challenges of transitioning from a start-up to a scale-up. At our recent, annual Christmas gathering, we reflected together on the year–what did we do well? What can we do better next year? What are our company, team and individual goals for 2020? As we move forward as a company, we will continue to reflect on these questions and strive to make every year better than the last. So, here’s to an awesome 2020!

Awards

  • SalesScreen Talent of the Year: Emilie Sørgård Anderssen - HR Manager \t* This new hire made a big splash during their first year at SalesScreen, and their efforts brought on positive change. Emilie's efforts to help us improve our hiring process and structure our employee interactions has made a big impact on company culture and reduced onboarding time of new employees significantly.
  • SalesScreen Brave of the Year: Vidar Haaland - Regional Director Singapore \t* This employee fearlessly took on a challenging project with positivity and ambition. Vidar fearlessly traveled to Singapore to open up our new office there... alone! As a result, APAC leads are booming!
  • SalesScreen Dedicated of the Year: Øystein Heimark - CTO \t* This employee is the real deal, and has shown loyalty and dedication over a long time at SalesScreen. Oystein is probably the person in the company who sleeps the least. He is constantly working to improve our product, security and processes.
  • SalesScreen Playful of the Year: Remi Morken - CCO \t* This employee sparks joy in the office and makes their co-workers smile again and again. Remi's smile and laughter brighten the room wherever he goes and his energy pours into closing sales deals as well. # DoubleWin!
  • SalesScreen Hero of the Year: Kim Jakobsson - Sales Manager \t* This employee shined brighter than most this year and excelled in their position. Kim has by far been the closer of the year, crushing MRR goals and bringing in tons of happy new customers. Way to go Kim, employee of the year!!!
