Tell us about your studies at SSU. Which teacher was remembered for a lifetime?

It was fun at the University -this is the period when you already feel like an adult, but you do not need to be 100% responsible for your actions.

I remember Oleg Fedorovich Balatsky - he is an outstanding person, definitely! His lectures were attended by all who did not attend any classes. He told cases from the real practice of entrepreneurs of the Soviet Union. It was amazing!

I also remembered a marketing teacher who described me as a superficial person, but he noted that this approach also has a right to life. And now I think he really saw my essence as a person. I believe that you need to hire professionals for every case.

1. How did the idea to create a marketing agency?

After studying online marketing, I wanted to share my emotions with a "live" person, not a laptop (Smiles).

  I met a friend who works in this field, started a conversation about one of the agencies in Ukraine. And, we decided that we wanted to create our own agency.

Thus began the path of "regular coincidences"

Job teacher requires not only knowledge of the specialty, but also the ability to do science. Webinars for scientists from Elsevier Ukraine, dedicated to working with the Scopus database are interesting for scientists.

One of the topics in “Management” was devoted to emotional intellect. Because of Daniel Goleman’s book, this concept conquered the dominance in management literature and leadership studies. It’s well known that high emotional intelligence is the precondition of the successful negotiations, sales transactions or project pitching. And one of the practical implementations of that soft skills is sales. That’s why the meeting with Mr Artem Knyazev, trainer at LLC Globalbilgi, was dedicated to sales for the beginners and emotions management. Mr Knyazev has an experience in sales since 2014 and now he trains salesmen at his company.

Mr Knyazev shared his experience of successful sales, management and structuring operations in sales, self-control, self-motivation and emotions control. This theme took place within the course “Management” (Lecturer: Dr Shvindina Hanna) for the first-year students of specialities “Entrepreneurship, trade and exchange activities”, “Marketing”, “Banking Business”, “Economic Cybernetics”, “International economic relations”, “Accounting and audit”, “Public and local finances”.
