The stuffs sold are of affordable prices , i wonder how
much i need to sell just to earn some commission ?
The advertisement says :
Candidates should preferable have :
1) Sales experience an advantage and not neccessary in the food
industry.
2)Sparkling personality and good attitude
3)Shows determination with capacity for hard work
Rewarding and exciting career choice for right candidates :
1) Minimum starting salary of $1800 per mth , depending on
individual
2)Upon successful completion of training and some period of
practical work experience , candidates are expected to be able to
work independently. A transport allowance of $600 per month would
then be given
3)Commission is payable when certain base targets are achieved.
All right , this is the knotty part. Never reach target ,
then all the deals' commission not paid ?
Few things for you to take note, dun say I never impart my
knowledge haha!
1) Food service sales people are most likely require to drive.
Make sure you check with them whether vehicle is provided or not.
Some expect you to possess own vehicle and give you a transport
allowance. Looking at $600 for transport allowance, its way too low
unless you are driving already anyway.
2) $1800 entry as food service sales exec is about right if you
are fresh and holding a diploma and furthermore Phoon Huat is not a
MNC so it is lesser. A fresh grad with degree can expect at least
$2200 - $2400 for starting pay as sales exec in a MNC. But $600 as
transport allowance is really low unless they provide vehicle.
3) Sales people especially when you are starting at the bottom
of the rung, works alot based on commission. OR else your basic pay
and transport cannot survive. Depending on the company, normally
they give you a sales target for the month, quarter or year and if
you meet it, they give you a lump sump. The commission structure is
not like those promoter type lah where you sell one piece, you get
$10 that kind lah. So it is only fair that you get your commission
if you hit your allocated target.
4) Most likely you are working in the food service sector which
means you do not serve end consumers but rather businesses. Meaning
you are selling to bakeries like POLAR, BENGAWAN SOLO etc for their
manufacturing. THUS, though per piece the product is affordable,
but manufacturers dun buy by pieces, they buy by cartons, by
pallets sometimes so thats why you have a SALES TARGET.
