Lol, I remember one thing that happened when I visted my sister at abuja.
(she wasn't around so I was waiting for to come back when this man and his wife‪‬‪ ‬came to buy something. I think they are gwari, After a few mins i noticed how they both struggle with English, especially with the food menu. Her sales gal have already had some trouble making themselves understood when I go over to take one table’s order.)

Me: what food would you like to order?”

Man: “Yes, we would like food please.”

(There is a long awkward pause, until I realise they are not going to order on their own.)

Me: “So… what food would you like?”

The woman: “Oh! I would like this. This is steak, yes?”
(She is pointing to something else on the menu.)

Me: “Oh, no, that’s em em*I don't know whats called* it’s like a small leg. We have a steak just here, if you like?”

(She remains pointing at that one.)

Woman: “So this… this is steak?”

Me: “No, no, this is steak…”*I point*

Woman: “So this… what animal?”

Me: “Pardon?”

Woman: “What animal this?”

Me: “Oh! Sorry! That’s lamb. Uh, sheep.”

Woman: “Sheep?”

Me: “Yes, sheep. Erm…”

Man: “Maaaaaaaa?”

(I am puzzled for a second, and then realise he is making a sheep noise!)

Me: “Yes, baaaaa!”

Woman: “Oh! Yes! And this?”
(She points to the steak.)

Me: “Steak. Cow.”

Man: “Moooo?”

Me: “Yes, mooooo!”

(She points to each successive meat dish in turn, and eventually her husband will make the animal noises before she does, to save time. I manage to keep a straight face, because I don’t want him to feel patronised, but his impressions are very funny.)

Woman: “And this?”
(She points at the last item in the menu) “What animal, this?”

Me: "Oh!, it is chicken"

Man: "kookorookooo"?

Me: "Yea"

(They later decided to buy chicken and steak. Funny people)

This people placing advert on threads...

Well if they are not paying for it no wahala but if Seun is collecting rates for it please its so razz.

Reading a thread and seeing such adverts seem like you lack creativity.

Hmm! I feel your koko no be small. Salesman job can be a hell on earth (talking out of experience).
But wait, I need to ask if you're into Insurance? If that's the case, then, it's a pity cos Nigerians don't understand the language called "Insurance".

During my short sojourn in the art of salesmanship, I learnt few things and had some experiences which I think are worth sharing

1. I learnt that people don't want to be sold to; rather, they want you to help them solve their problem(s) [Once I understood this, I changed my approach and things became easier]
2. I also learnt that to have a measure of success, you must know your product in and out, especially the benefits. You also have to believe in your products to be able to convince others to believe in them (this is a difficult part because, most times, you're told to market a total junk stuff you don't believe one bit in).
3. I learnt not to expect positive result all the time, at least, for the first call.
4. The job taught me how to approach people (even total strangers) with ease than before.
5. I later realised that those who set targets for you only have one thing in mind... to drive you MAD and hypertensive with unrealistic targets which they know cannot be realised. So, the best thing I did was to ignore them and just work smart as usual.
6. I also enjoyed the FREEDOM that comes with being a salesman. Sometimes I go just enter bar and relax with a cool bottle of the Ultimate, all join for work. At times, I also do my own runs during working hours. Regular operations guys don't have this freedom.

I detest the work but, at least, I enjoyed myself relatively while it lasted. Probably because I knew I had no future there.

Sales job is very challenging. It is well even in the well.

I feel you bro but doing sales is actually challenging and it's also doable.

To enjoy marketing you need to learn by reading books on how to sell to people and how to persuade them.

My advice is to make friends with customers before selling your product to them, that way you can easily persuade them.

What are u guys selling These experiences are full of woe...i am into sales and loving it o

Olugbenger: Op, you aven't seen anything at all.
Go find out from popular salesmen here like sincere 9gerian, taharqa, jmaine and CO. who sell very terrible lies to us here and even have to ass lick their paymaster. The economy is really bad , but these folks have to go against their conscience because there are no better jobs. God help us all.

You don't need to import your stupidity to this section.

Simply because we puncture your unfortunate lies doesn't make us paid. We are just offering seemless free services in taming your labyrinth of lies; so that other innocent bystanders don't ingest them . . . .

Security is good but it can be compared to a prisoner behind bars. He's so secure but lacks freedom! Out there are people who are free and live unlimited lives.
A job can only offer you a short-term security. Never freedom!
If, like me, you desire the freedom to earn your worth and live your life, I invite you to read through my post @ www.nairaland.com/1496966/only-way-earn-what-worth
