My advice to upcoming professionals

Be Truthful and give your best in whatever you do

Current Job description

Sales Manager

What achievements are you really proud off , in your corporate journey?

Succesful in revenue generation throughout the tenure.. Plying and pivotal role in the professional development of the team

Becoming good marketing professionals

Yes, as soon as you put on ur salesman hat, you start to speaking about your product or service, its advantages, benefits, etc.. The kind of promotion a sales guy does to a product can not be done by others. We market our product better than the rest..

Developing a country

If every single individual develops himself/herself then the nation automatically is developed, no need of extra effort..

Essential qualification required

One should be educated, not just literate..

Motivating team members

Involve myself with them.. Using the Word WE is very important when you're a part of a team. If U can make them believe that you are one of them and are equally trying to get things in place along with them, it boosts their morale a lot.

Education system in India

Any education system for that matter makes an individual just a literate. It takes your inner self to develop yourself to be called as educated. Education system is doing its job right my making us literates, we need to do the rest

Effect of sales on an organization

The only effect sales has on an organization is growth.. Every organization needs to sell and if it sells, it excels.. If there are no sales, then it expels (lay off)

Upcoming Trends

There's nothing like new trends, everything revolves around "having the basics right". If the basics are right, you don't need new ways of doing things..

Essential skills

As mentioned earlier.. Any educated guy with adequate knowledge on product/services who can "interact" with people (not just speak) can be a Succesful sales person

Comparing Online sales with hardcore sales

Both are equally challenging, we need to put equal amount of hardwork. The only advantage you have in hard ore selling is the physical presence, it gives you a thin edge over online sales team

Importance of brand image

If I have to be politically correct then it makes no difference. But actually the brand name has its own advantages and disadvantages. The kind of understanding people have about a brand either brings them to you or take them away..

Handling new territory

Not much because if you can sell into ur existing territory then you can sell into the new one.. No doubt the region, economy, infrastructure and development rate of that region defines the potential of the market but selling is COMMON.
