I have chosen sales because,,,,I cant sit in the office for hole day. I feel sleepy while doing so.
One day I went to meet one of my relatives. They Invited me for dinner.
We engaged ourselves in small talk she asked about my job I sd I am in sales.
She sd she can never work in sales because it has targets. I was flabbergasted!!!!!! I told her that every Job has its own target.
I mean HR for their recruitment...
Operations for their data entry and analysis .....
Finance for their budgets control.......
Marketing for their successful promotions and campaigns....
BPO people for their 9 hrs of log in....
She herself worked for one of the renowned Finance MNCs.
I told her she must have some defined KRA s (Key Responsibility Areas) on the basis of which
the company does appraisal for her(that is her target).The only difference in sales is the targets are
controlled by the customers.
She agreed and sd sales is not her cup of tea.
I believe sales is for hard and smart working people.We have Quarterly targets ......
But every month end has gives you hell lot of pressure if you are far from your targets.Even if
you are not able to the survival business you are out of the organisation.
The top brass in sales work for incentives,,,the middle ones for survival...and the bottom ones I don't know
what they work for...
My month end days involve lots call from boss asking same question How much?????
and and pushing customers to make payments.If targets achieved then its ok otherwise giving excuses and
making promises to cover it up next month.
