I have just begun my stint in "NETSCRIBE SOLUTIONS". I know never heard of it right..its a market research firm; so I am a Research associate!!.. sounds cool huh..The surprise package is the office culture..rather a culture shock for me. There was a time in my previous job which was at "kotak securities" at worli, it was dir3ct sales profile. It was like havin my mentor/boss/everything up my a$$ all the time, things like coming 30 seconds late was also a huge crime, unneccesary bullying coz of age-difference and obviously post and the salary automatically became the norm. Here the organisation is "flat"to the 't'. The best part is the flexible timing, you know, one can come any time and leave only after completing his/her 9 hours,now that can be any pat of the 24hrs. So, boss nagging at you , no dhamkis no bullying. This takes a huge burden off you, especially when you are travellin 30kms one-way!...I had to tele-call in the earlier profile, which was quite an insulting experience overall, here Dont.
In sales, the only thing you require is contacts + Luck or Only LUck+ obviously hard work or some work atleast. Now if you are lucky; out of the 90 odd calls you make you can get 90 meetings and thats 3 metings per day for a month, and out of 90 you can convert 50- 5cr deals and 40-80/90lac deals,you know what i mean...but agar nasib **ndu toh, you get no meetings + your rm is going back and forth up your a$$ + no conversions + you keep calling for another couple of days(90 per day) till yuo get 4 or 5 meetings...the point is, you must be working like crazy, but at the end of the day,that profile blesses only those who get the lucky "sale"..
I did learn and polish and got a good command over
> office politics
>communication skills
I met one of the best office colleagues ever...vivek,abhinav, rahul,birju,maneet,buund maar denge, pappa, gaurav sir, rahul m, deep shit, kamal ,manish b, amruta, nishi, tereko bolana,..
In the research profile, I am my own boss. I need to meet the dead lines of submitting the reports, I can come at whatever time I want, once you can manage time properly, one c an study, and go to the gym as well. I get weekends offf...I get to go for movies, go for classes, learn my guitar, gte my bike all souped up....coOoOl..what i am gonna gain..
>mental peace
>time management lessons
>huge amount of knowledge.
hoping for the best....
