bb Insight
Hello again:
Elvira and her bb (eer) story.
Elvira Beck isn’t someone who joins once and never leaves – she’s someone who comes back and stays for good. She first joined us back in 2006, but after four years, she moved on. In February 2011, she left bb – but not forever…
Just over four years later, in December 2014, she was back. The second job interview? Super chill – over a beer on the terrace. The contract was ready, she just had to sign. Our CEO Tobi even said: «If you leave again in a year or two, no big deal… we’re just happy to have you now, since you already know the job.»
Spoiler alert: Elvira stayed. And now it’s been 15 years – Goldhorn well earned!
15 years of Product Power:
A heart that beats for inside sales.
Elvira still remembers her «second first day» clearly: goodies on her desk, familiar smiling faces, and one clear feeling – back home. That bb vibe.
What does she love most about her job? Easy: it’s anything but boring. Inside sales, she says, isn’t your typical admin gig. Every project brings new challenges, every product has its own story. You get to dive into topics you’d never usually touch – and that’s the magic.
To understand what’s possible and what’s not, you sometimes need real nerd-level knowledge about production, feasibility, and materials.
At first, creating quotes felt like a bit of a hurdle – but now? The more complex, the better. That’s why the trickiest, most special projects often land on her desk. Challenge accepted!
Fun fact to close: Elvira encouraged her partner to go freelance – but made it very clear she’d never do his paperwork. Why? Because she loves her job at bb. And that’s not something you swap for just any old desk job. In her words: Once you’re hooked on inside sales, you always find your way back.
