Welcoming Sandra Tyssedal to Van Kam’s Sales Team

Meet Sandra Tyssedal, the newest addition to the Sales team at Van Kam Freightways. With a wealth of experience and a knack for connecting with people, Sandra has developed a deep understanding of the industry and a passion for building relationships with customers, making her a valuable addition to the Van Kam team.

The Role That Fits Like a Glove

For Sandra, her position in Inside Sales is more than a job – it’s a perfect match for her natural people skills and her extensive experience. This role allows her to tap into her innate love for engaging with people and solving problems. “I’ve always enjoyed talking to customers, learning about their business, and finding ways to help,” Sandra says.

In her day-to-day activities, she’s not just making sales; she’s building and nurturing relationships. With every customer interaction, Sandra sees an opportunity to understand their unique challenges and work collaboratively towards effective solutions. “It’s about really listening to our customers and ensuring they feel valued and understood,” she elaborates.

Customers at the Heart of Everything

Sandra’s role at Van Kam goes beyond the typical responsibilities of an Inside Sales Representative. It’s rooted in her philosophy that every customer is crucial, and their trust is paramount. “I aim to make our customers feel that their needs are my priority,” she explains. “I want them to know that I’m here for them, ready to put in all the effort needed to support their business.” This customer-centric approach is what drives Sandra every day.

For Sandra, it’s not just about the sales aspect; it’s about being a reliable and consistent point of contact for her clients in Northern BC. “Developing trust and showing that I genuinely care about their business is key. When customers know that you’re truly on their side, that’s when real relationships are built,” she emphasizes.

A Culture That Resonates

The supportive culture at Van Kam deeply resonates with Sandra. “Here at Van Kam, everyone is valued, and that’s reflected in the way we work together,” she notes. Our Core Values – DEVELOP, CARE, and ACHIEVE- mirror Sandra’s approach to her work and relationships with customers. She appreciates the teamwork and the positive work environment, which she believes are crucial to her success and satisfaction in her role.

A Life Full of Adventures and Family Joy

Sandra is a passionate adventurer who loves exploring new places. She finds joy in travelling and immersing herself in diverse cultures. “I’ve been on three cruises, and each one was a unique exploration. I can’t wait to tick off Africa and the Mediterranean from my bucket list,” she shares. Her enthusiasm for the outdoors extends to biking, hiking, and kayaking, making the most of every opportunity to connect with nature.

Family and friendship hold a special place in Sandra’s life. As a proud Nana to seven grandchildren, her family is her greatest joy. “Each of my grandchildren, from the oldest at 19 to the youngest newborn, brings so much happiness,” she expresses with warmth. Sandra also cherishes time with friends, especially during Friday night Happy Hour gatherings. “It’s these moments with family and friends, whether it’s a pool party or a large Thanksgiving dinner for 24, that means the world to me. I love bringing people together and creating memories,” Sandra adds.

With a life rich in adventure, family, and the joys of connecting with others, she truly embodies the spirit of our team.
