‘Believe you can and you are halfway there’
Maria Namwiha is what Pupkewitz Megabuild calls yet another happy customer! And no, we don’t mean client, we mean happy staff member! Namwiha has reached her 15-year long service after starting at Pupkewitz Megabuild in 2008 as a Cashier.
In typical Megabuild fashion, when staff show promise, Pupkewitz Megabuild gives back.
In her own words: “Megabuild is a company that respects and values its employees, and makes sure every employee is welcomed whether you are a beginner or a senior, and this is what made me stay in the group for this long.”
Today Namwiha is the branch’s Buying Clerk, up from Cashier for four years with a stint as a Granning Clerk.
She makes sure the branch is fully stocked and she has excelled in this position for seven years.
“Discipline, hard work, positivity, and respect always pay off that is why after being a Cashier for four years, I was promoted to Granning Clerk, but I never stopped learning, taking up new challenges and pushing myself to be a valuable, trusted employee in the group. This led me to become a Branch Buyer Clerk, which I am currently doing for more than seven years.
“I love the negotiation of the prices of goods as I am an active speaker and I love to be convinced, instead of just simply stating the price, sell it to me. This in turn gives a lot of priceless on-the-job exposure and training. For a branch to function, it starts with a buyer and all other duties will follow.”
Namwiha oozes confidence, energy and motivation. These are not skills that come easily, but she says it is a mindset, a way of thinking that you apply every day. She says it is oh-so important to be brave and by brave she means keeping the focus, holding on to discipline and understanding that the only limits you have are in your own mind.
