Evening all. Hows ya day been? Anyway, i write this with pain in my heart not because i want it but because it seems to be what people want. I intend to start applying for marketing roles. Either Direct Sales Agent or Direct Sales Executive. I will wanna give it a shot as it looks like other jobs aint forth coming. So please guys, i wanna know how to marketing products for a bank for instance. Lets say a savings bank account. I dont have prior knowlegde of marketing. In fact, i am a total novice. Please what are the things i need to know?? Kindly assist. Please note: i dont have the job yet but i wanna start applying. |

It's not an easy role but once you get the jerk you would love it. Key things you need to know: 1:always know your product or service. Even though you might be given an induction. From personal experience going into the field is a totally different game. However when you know your product of service then that's a good start. 2: prepare for a lot of rejection but never let it get to you. You will need that I tell you. 3: don't just choose any marketing job, ve sure you take up a marketing job in an industry you like or have interest in. 4: mist marketing jobs don't pay much. Except you are working for a multinational. So be sure you are working with the mindset if a builder and not to make quick money. 1 Like 1 Share |

Abduletudaye:I can't answer whether you'll survive or not.. you can only know that by trying. .. You don't have the skills, what skills? Being able to convince people? Boldness? High tolerance? good communication and interpersonal skills?? Or you don't just have flair for marketing? 1 Like 1 Share |
