MEET OUR TEAM

Ma. Criselda V. Saway

Sales Manager

There’s probably no more challenging time to be in sales than during a pandemic. For our Sales Manager Criselda Saway, it’s been a case of “challenge accepted.”

When did you join Manila House, and what made you decide to be part of the Sales team? I joined Manila House two years ago. I learned about the job opening on LinkedIn, and luckily got hired.

I love being in Sales, the perks and stuff, the more you sell, the more money you earn. I also genuinely enjoy building networks and spending time talking to people.

Though being a sales person is one of the most challenging jobs, it is great to have a team that understands and supports you, working towards the same goals.

What is the most fulfilling part of your job? When I know that every closed/confirmed deal contributes to the revenue of the company. It gives me a sense of achievement at the end of the day.

Which event has been the most memorable or challenging so far? Most memorable are the wedding events that I handled. It feels good to help a couple organize their wedding from start to finish, the feeling that I was a part of the special milestone in their lives, the appreciation they give you during their special day, and the best part—- some of them ended up becoming my friends!

What do you do to destress and keep a work-life balance? There is no “perfect” work-life balance for me.

Some days, I am too busy and focus more on my work, while some days are lighter. I just make sure on those days that I am not busy, I take a vacation and spend time with my loved ones cooking for them. I also give time for myself, like going to the salon or online shopping!

What is your proudest moment? As I matured, I turned bad habits into good ones.. I know my parents are proud of that!
