Shunga’s Jetsetter

As market development director for Eau Zone Oils & Fragrances, Angela Mustone keeps her finger on the pulse of the company’s success by ensuring the satisfaction of its clients. To keep business flowing, Mustone travels the world over touting the Shunga range of sensual bath, body and cosmetic products, and educating on its benefits.

Mustone earned her Bachelor’s Degree from McGill University in Montreal.

If you don’t take any risks in life, you won’t get anywhere. I go for what I want and so far it has taken me far in life!

“However, the most education I’ve gained is from hands-on experience,” Mustone said. “I’ve been working in sales and management for over 10 years, which has taught me how to achieve business goals by establishing partnerships that are beneficial for both parties.”

Mustone oversees and manages the business development side of the company. Being the sales director, she also deals directly with all of Shunga’s clients, whether it is to negotiate terms and conditions or simply to cultivate a business relationship; “and to make sure that Shunga’s clients are happy and satisfied with what the company provides,” she said.

Mustone says that she is driven by productivity. A typical Monday morning for Mustone starts with a to-do list of priorities.

“I review my Outlook calendar for upcoming meetings, deadlines and important follow-up calls that need to be made,” she said. “I always strive to structure my week so I get a balance of following up on new leads, taking care of my clients and keeping on top of my mounting paperwork. Basically, it’s all about being pro-active.”

Mustone also has a familiar personal mantra that she lives by.

“I would say that I’m the type of person that will ‘just do it’ (like Nike),” she said. “If you don’t take any risks in life, you won’t get anywhere. I go for what I want and so far it has taken me far in life!”

According to Mustone, she’s learned from her experience so far at Shunga Erotic Art.

“I believe that every life experience someone goes through shapes that person in a certain way,” she said. “I have been working for Shunga for almost two years and now more than ever, I think keeping clients happy with the service they’re getting or our products is what a good business is all about.”
