And when the graduate that applies for this same job suddenly makes it big through the connections they make while on the job, you will still come here to shout ''corruption!'' Havent you heard of ''start small, grow big''? The problem with majority of Nigerians is that we always try to place ourselves higher than where we should be!!!

OP what should we be seeing?


OP is remarkably dumb.

This post speaks volumes of the OP's intellect. I wouldnt employ him to wash car's in my company.

OP, Fish marketing is a very tasking job just like every other Marketing job.

Its not about carrying fish on your head to go hawk on the streets but rather going about like 'Bank Marketers' do to source for new clients. Not just Market women but corporate clients that would buy in bulk and even issue the Fish Company a Purchase Order.


Restaurants like Jevenik, Mama Cass, Kilimanjaro, e.t.c and the likes are a very good customer base. They will need this fishes on demand daily. Large catering Companies like Genesis, UAC Foods, S.J Abed, e.t.c are even better.. They will be willing to enter into a frame Agreement with the Farm and issue the farm a running Purchase Order for supply.

Exporters are another large market. Find Clients in the U.K, U.S, Canada and Asia to supply these products and expand the Companies reach to international markets.

I would take out Branding, Advertising and Merchandising as that should be contracted out to professionals.




This Job is not easy, but I will not take it because it only pays on Sales Commission. The Company should have a salary for its Marketers and then add a sales commission to it.

If you are not smart, of course you will sell crayfish even with a master degree

It's not the certificate alone , it's your brain. I know some graduate will still rush for the job. #besmart

I know smart guys will not take such jobs, except if the salary is in millions Abi no be so?

Kachisbarbie:
I see nothing wrong with it, someone has to market the fish_ if it's a graduate, better. I don't think the manager of a big eatery would take them serious if they send some SSCE holders to market their product(s)_ I guess that's why they want graduates to cater for high end customers .

The only problem I have with it is the pay, there should be a basic salary, then commission added to it.
I can market the fish if the pay is right, I need money to survive.

.Unemployment Crisis: Graduates Asked To Market Fresh Fish

This was on page 51 of the guardian of Tuesday may 17, 2016. Graduates were asked to apply for the position of "fresh fish marketers. In as much as this is a "job", it speaks volumes of the level to which we have descended as a nation.

refreshrate:


Babe I've always been a fan but this your post get as e be...in fact make I talk am you fall my hand.

So someone goes to school thru all the stress, miss sleep, face harassment from lecturers, some even miss Christmas holidays etc only to graduate to come & be selling fish?

Do you realise this is like a type of curse they can use in mountain of fire for someone's enemy ?

Are we going backwards as a country or what precisely ?

Do you also justify dressing of masquerade as a profession ?

Pls people most of the people subjecting us to these standards did not go to school, nepa bill can & will never substitute for a college degree all those who supported this are no more literate than the nepa bill holder himself.

Please don't allow people who are not as educated or cultured as you put a dirty ceiling over your head it's appalling

Selling fish?

People that have been selling fish to you before how many go school to come sell fish?

What then was the point of your getting an education ?

Struggle pass jamb do post jamb fight to maintain GP then graduate to come & be selling fish.

#classiccurse

Not selling fish, marketing fish.
Even if it's selling fish, there are different ways of selling fish...we have "eleja" that carries on the head, or in a small corner somewhere in the market, we also have those that have cold rooms.

What's wrong in marketing wholesale fish kwanu? Don't you eat fish?

Lols @ mountain of fire.
Sincerely, I see nothing wrong with it.

glamz007:

Like seriously?




SO you believe that a layman can market a product better than a Graduate?

Just imagine that you are able to secure a good frame agreement with a Catering Company or a Hotel like Eko Hotel in Lagos, Nicon Hilton in Abuja, Intercontinental in Lagos, Golden Tulip in Port harcourt, Le Meridian in Uyo and Port Harcourt and you get a commission on every order they make, can you calculate how much money this would round up to in constant daily commission earned? And you still have your time to yourself to dabble into other things at the same time.

I think many Nigerian Graduates are just trained to be lazy. To never look beyond a pay check at the Bigger Picture. Infact, I dont think they have the ability to appreciate the bigger picture.

All I would advice any Graduate who is interested in this Job to do is to enter into a negotiation with the Company such that;

1. They give you a Monthly allowance to cover travel expenses (Minimum wage is fine).

2. That any and all clients you bring in, you would be the sole manager of their accounts and that you get a 10 or 15% commission on ever order placed by your clients.

3. With every client you bring in, your Monthly fixed allowance must increase as your responsibility increases towards your clients.

4. In case of the Companies inability to meet the demand of your clients, you reserve the right to source for alternative supply sources to meet their demand.




Basically, get creative. Just sitting here in my office, I already have a client penciled down.

glamz007:
How many big organizations pay dia marketers(graduates) based on sales commission? I bet u can not mention one. dz cos its a stupid thing to do. You have to pay sumtin no mata how small

MadCow1:



Lol..

Ask those of us who have worked abroad in Marketing.

Payment based on sales commission is not new at all, even some Nigerian Businesses do it. Infact, no smart business owner would opt for anything different for marketers. Reason being that Marketers are not office based employees. Nothing stops them from marketing multiple products (some of which may not be your products) on your time.

The second option to commission based payment is to set impractical periodic targets that most marketers fail to attain. Example: Banks.

Most Marketers are more than happy to work on a commission especially if the product is easy to market such as this one and not something like Insurance. The job gives them time to work on personal hustles whilst marketing a product, building a client and customer based that they can one day exploit for themselves. Imagine that you are able to secure 10 high profile clients for this fish company whilst learning from the fish Company how they operate and growing your own personal fish farm on the side. Later on, you can simply re-market your fish to your clients and voila, you are in business for yourself.

There is no limit to what you can achieve even in the worst of situations as long as you are able to think outside the box.

I hate my new job primarily because it took away my time flexibility and made my personal business suffer.

glamz007:
The bank u mentioned pay dia staffs salary. I've not gone abroad so i wouldnt know. maybe u should jz mention one company abroad wia d staff does not earn a salary but depends on commission gotten from sales . Google is ma friend

MadCow1:



Uncle, Even if I do name companies abroad that do it, chances are you wouldn't know them.

My first job in Canada was in a furniture Company. I was paid only on commission on sales.

Its not new system. Its not alien.

Google can help you out.

You will see tons of articles, vacancies and debates on the subject.

Nuff Said..

glamz007:
I've heard u. Dz why u should apply for d job then

MadCow1:



Job vacancies are for Jobless People not the employed and especially not for employers of labor either.

glamz007:

Lol. did u jz say that job vacancies r for unemployed?

So someone goes to school thru all the stress,. . . etc only to graduate to come & be selling fish?
