Why Job Seekers Hate Marketing Jobs (A Must Read) by Nnaeb(m): 6:45am On Aug 06, 2015 |
Truth be told, there is a difference between marketing and selling. What we call marketing jobs are actually sales job. It’s not your fault really because even the company that recruited you advertised for executive marketers only for you to end up as an executive sales representative. Nothing is wrong with that though. So pardon me, when I refer to selling as marketing, which is the language in the street. The actual topic for this piece would have been ‘why people hate sales job. source http://jobtrends.com.ng/why-job-seekers-hate-marketing-jobs-brown-uzoukwu/ 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Nice thread ...But I think you are actually doing your blog more harm than good. Secondly, you don't seem to be practising what you're preaching ... You should post the whole piece right here... Discerning minds would , I believe, be inclined to visit your blog..or at least, bookmark it. Well done! On a second note! What are you trying to sell to us? What ideas are you trying to portray? that there are no upsides to marketing/sales? Sales / marketing dikwa promising! 5 Likes |

we can change that mentality. marketing is good in the real sense but for the unrealistic targets, i reject that. secondly marketers themselves should be adequately trained. but employers are afraid of losing such a trained staff to other poaching firms. but how do someone market a product/service he/she has little or no knowledge? |

end note: in this part of the world, most sales people are always in the wrong location at the right time, expecting their target audience buy what they 've already got.. customers are inexuastible, someone somewhere needs what you are offering, it's all got to do with how you can identify where they are, and get them to patronize. 1 Like |

Nobody wants to do marketing jobs because of the unrealistic targets their employers demand of them. There are also those persons who instill this inferiority complexes in them when there out on the field and making these marketers feel dejected as if they're desperate beggars. So you can't blame people from shying away from marketing jobs, its the stress and stigma attached to it. 1 Like |

point of corretion: a sales job is different from a real marketih job. mostly what those banks are looking for are sales people to sell their banking services on the streets. that aint marketing. marketing is abt creation n communication of value |

Marketing is the opium of any profitable organization. While many people prefer the type of job that requires them walking into an office,sit down and attend to clients, they fail to look away from the fact that without marketing,that company will crash in a swift. The time is coming when employers will pay salaries based on percentage of profits made for the month so whether we love it or hate it,we all better start embracing marketing. The funny twist is that consciously or unconsciously we are all marketers and most times without benefits. How many times have you told a friend about a nice meal you ate at a certain mama put? How many times have you recommended a good product you like to a friend? Countless number of people are enjoying the health benefits of garlic and pineapple mix because i freely gave an advice on it and if there is a company that is actually selling this i guess i would have earned great commissions from them. i can not continue to enumerate on the many products and services we all have marketed at one time or the other without even deliberately doing it yet when we are conspicuously confronted with a sales/marketing job, we suddenly develop an appalling attitude towards it.Strange i must say. 5 Likes |
