lols... Tnks.. do they easily sack staff who don't meet target?

DauraIsAGoal:

Not 'easily' per say, but they do if it is consistent. There are also many other traps and landmines on the job that can get one sacked

NekkyCee:
On the location you talked about, you mean sales regions right? Can you please explain further how a location can deter you on the job?. Thanks

please i meant will you advice person with a job of 65k and bit peace of mind to NB sales executive job?

CallofDuty:
why not..by all means go for the job..it will create a platform for networking and career growth.but u have to be passionate about sales... Location is a big factor in sales too..for those asking..you maybe posted to a place where all you have to do is to develop a good customer relationship with a key accounts & secondary sales team and you go de hit target Wella..but some locations where competition is crazy..u go de work round the clock to ensure prompt redistribution & timely liquidation of stocks. In addition to the comments of Dauraisagoal
.

DauraIsAGoal:
I just laid it out for you to choose. You can take the risk, you might end up in a good location, where things are going well. There is also possibilities of switching roles/departments once inside.
I don't know what to advise you.

DauraIsAGoal:

1. Distance from family and friends. You hardly get a chance to travel even on public holidays and weekends, only during your leave. So it is better if your work location is close to your family and friends.
2. Economy of the area. You and the team you supervise are expected to make all NB brands available in all the outlets (beer parlours, provision stores, supermarkets etc) in your coverage area, so the better the economy of the place, the easier it is for you to achieve that. Sales on credit and debts will be less.

Generally if the economy of the area is good, it is easier for you to meet all your targets. Less pressue and headache for you.

thank you very much for your comments i have been looking for this kind of information.. Most of us just looking at the pay part.. Not minding the actual work involved you can not blame us unemployment is very high in this part of the world.. I beginning to have a rethink of this sales executive(fine name) please do share more info on this ? Will you be required to create new customers or just service existing customers..if it was the latter what then happened to the sales executives already in that location..

Hmmmmm well the JDs and KPIs may be a little different from 1 organisation to another, but the main objectives is
Executions..ur job is to Execute, Execute & Execute.
From sales schemes to promotional campaigns, market intelligence gathering from competition, in- market penetration strategy & executions , Territory& Redistribution MGT ,coaching and leadership for the secondary sales team under your supervision which will include planning their beats/ routes, administration, call steps, etc. You may not be required to look for new key accounts..but if u are not meeting your target.. nobody will ask u to start hunting instead of farming.. .. lastly why the requisition??..well population of towns keep increasing hence the requisition for New SEs in Territories where there were No SE's I totally, it could also be that the former SE has resigned, has been promoted or the work has gone beyond his/her capability, hence the need for a division in labour or again if the coy needa a more capable hand to oversee their functions & executions in that area. Sales is fun shaa esp when on the field but can be very demanding. If you have " ability to work independently without supervision in ur CV, this is where it will come into play. All ur Managers and Coy wants is to deliver value targets & Results..No execuses!! ..they only know you because u're listed on their payroll...Lol.. wishing all the applicants the very best!
