Paige: So, being as fluent as you are in English, it's really opened a lot of doors for you, career-wise.ĭani: Yes, 100%. I mean, it was a requirement that I would be able to speak English in order to get this job. No, 100% because our company is English-speaking based. Paige: So, it seems like in that situation, it was vital that you spoke fluent English.ĭani: Yeah, of course. But, you have to have the personality to be part of it. And right now, at this moment, I'm trying to pass some of that to someone else so I can focus on my area, but as a start-up, anybody who wants to work in a start-up or anybody who works in a start-up, knows that you're going to find yourself doing a lot of different things, which is great because you learn a lot and also can be tiring. And so, for that reason, even though sales is my main job and the relationships with the clients, I also have done a lot of admin work. And so, for not having a single Spanish-speaking person in their company, it would kill you.
You have to do a lot of things, go to banks and notaries, and talk to lawyers, and the tax people. People who know about how Chile works, everything is really hard for companies because bureaucracy is extremely high. For a very long time, I was the only Spanish-speaking person in the company here in Chile. And then, we put it all in one system, as opposed to many different systems.ĭani: Officially, I am the Sales and Key Account Manager. So, we're trying to digitalize the process.ĭani: Oh yeah. And so, there are a lot of processes that go through someone writing it down and then passing it to another person who puts it into a computer who puts it into a system like SAP. Interestingly enough, even though we are in a digital world, a lot of the information that you need to know - how many works your workers are working, how many hours your machines are working, and what kind of consumables you're using for your work. No, it's not that fun as a concept, but it actually is something that is needed in the market.
#COFFEE BREAK WITH DANI HUSBAND SOFTWARE#
And what is the product that you're selling?ĭani: We have a software, of course because we're a start-up, and it's called Tanto, and it's a software mainly for the mining industry or any kind of a company that does services in the mining sector or construction, who are interested to know the cost of their projects based on the hours that their people work, the consumables, the assets that they have, and how long those assets are working or whether they're working or not. And then in Europe, we have about eight I think, people who work in IT. And then we have an intern and an admin person.
Here in Chile, it's the founder, Sven, Florian - who is my coworker, and me as the main people. Paige: So to start, tell us, who do you work for? A basic question!ĭani: Alright, my company is called High-Key resources. Remember, if you get lost as you're listening, be sure to check out the transcript and vocabulary guide on our website.
