Tradeway-Promotions

Tradeway was an edgy company that evolved with the times, their competitive edge was compelling, a typical day at work consisted of analyzing our competitors behavior, their strengths and weaknesses and once that information was gathered an opportunity was created. We dealt with both SAB and Distell major tenders and did market research weekly as trends evolved frequently especially on social networks. The management used the Laisserz-faire leadership style where we were left at our own accord to make decisions we saw best for the company therefore making us feel important like we part of the core of the company. Our workplace culture was conducive to learning and growing and the best thing was that you didn't have to go to work everyday and could work from home. The hardest part always came after we would clench the deal, the typing of contracts and maintenance of company liason also ensuring promoters where doing what they are meant to be doing at the correct times as clients would do random inspections on site. Unfortunately I had to leave as my third year studies where getting intense and the job required more of me as I grew.

Promoting of the product was very interesting as I got to interact with the customers throughout the day. This enabled me to demonstrate the product and hand out samples. By doing this I could easily sell the product and explain while showing them how the product works. This also made it easy for the customers to fully understand how the product works. 
It was a great learning opportunity as there are other products that are in store that I would have to work against. I learnt not to bad mouth other products and only focus on mine. The challenge was that if a customer had to ask me the difference between mine product and that of another brand, I would have to try explain what the other product did or did not offer, which means that I would have to then research the other product. 
Management was great and if the client was happy with the work I did then so was management. We only had a problem with when to collect the stock as it sometimes came a bit late.
I really enjoyed when a customers was satisfied with the product and when I make a sale. It really makes it worth while.

Work is given to managers favorites. Knock off time changes anytime without consulting promoters. Salary not known until you get paid (you won't even be told when payment date it until you ask a regular). You have to fetch big bags/ boxes of stock regardless of you using public transport (delivery guy is always late). You get put off a campaign anytime so favorites can  work.
