This is going to be an interesting read so I will implore we read without bias and sentiments.


This is a man's world we have said times without number, but when it comes to marketing products we say women have the upper hand (: often times I have wondered who ever brought up this misconception.


I have seen many people reject a career in marketing because it's been perceived to be hard and not doable, I have seen job adverts asking specifically for female marketers, light skinned and single are some of the criteria that come with these adverts, I had a colleague tell me one time "You're a woman, marketing these products should be very easy" I found it sexist, objectifying and offending to my hustle, things aren't going to get better for me because I am a woman, things are going to get better for me because I am good at what I do.


I recently got appointment as an investment advisor with one of the biggest Real Estate Investment Firm in the country, this company made me understand the equality In Gender and opportunities, every one of us is given the same opportunity and tools to survive, no preference or inequality, woman or not you need to work twice as hard as everyone now this is a very healthy work environment.


Now I will not be a hypocrite and say I have always wanted to be a marketer or sales executive no, but when the opportunity surfaced did I turn tail and run? No! I faced it head on, I read on it, I watched YouTube videos, I rebranded my LinkedIn account and followed top sales influencers, I had no intention of slacking on the job or let inexperience hold me back, everything I saw around me were opportunities, I dreamt marketing, I ate marketing, I was working in that company like I owned it, learn to love a job not because it is a passion but because it is an experience {Isabella Ibeji).


I will like to say once again, there are no preference in marketing, you're either good at it or bad but this should not deter you from taking up the opportunity when it presents itself, do not be an unemployed lazy person with a choice, being a marketing executive will always be one of the best things that happened to me not because I was very good at it at the time but because I was willing to learn on the job and do better.


To potential consumers/customers out there, please give everyone a chance a minute of your time may seem much at the moment to listen to a sales pitch but so many people have lost money making investments due to preference of Gender, free yourself from the thought that female marketers are easy marks for your perversions, listen to them as you would a new business deal, let us make this country great again by investing in ideas and making such ideas realities, Nigeria is a great Country but its growth remains In our hands.

hmm

In marketing, what really matters is your pitch. If a marketer is very well-prepared and has a good delivery, gender does not play a role. Marketing with your body is always counter-productive because you only end up selling your body instead of the brand. The focus has to be on the brand so that the clients will be left with that impression on his mind. I remember marketing for a company some years ago and one client remembers my name but not the name of the brand that I was marketing. I used to be a regularly in the gym so the chest, biceps bla bla bla... But when I changed my approach, the deals came in and the rest is history.

In marketing, delivery is the deal. Know your product, develop a passion for that product, be convincing with your pitch. First impression is always the appearance. Look smart and neat and always brush your teeth and smell good. Check your oily face and teeth for leaf and meat. If you have any language skill, always use it at the right time. Study your clients and build a trust.

My own experience: If you are into short-term marketing, use beautiful girls but if you are marketing a brand, use smart girls who are experienced and eloquent in speech and presentable.

Many pretty girls I know do not do well in marketing. Those ones day fall business and pursue clients.

who did Adam listen to that put us in this mess?

male marketer, if he smells well,looks good, knows his stuff and is not flirting with me

Its pretty messed up for everyome if you ask me. Guys have to work extra hard to be given an audience, women have to work extra hard to remove or avoid sexual overtures.

I prefer male marketers most female try to flirt and rely on their looks esp when trying to convert me to a customer, though if the female marketer is just being herself then I would prefer that.

Female marketers are preferred because men tend to give attention and listen to what female marketers have to sell.

A man, because he has more convincing to do and will likely tell me more about the product than a female who would most likely rely on her charm..

No matter how you put it men will pay more attention to single ladies than men or married ladies. Women influence on men reduce the moment they put ring on their fingers and companies are aware of this. Queen Victoria didn't marry till she died because she wants to ve influence on world leaders. Most of them were making advances and she played all along and influence things in her favor. Place a man n a woman with equal marketing acumen, the woman will excel more than the man
