We all know that there are various inhibitions and judgements related to sales roles among the B-school students and aspirants. So, we decided to bunk some myths today. In this video, Niharika Gupta, an IIM Lucknow alumni, who is currently working at Colgate Palmolive, talks about the duties and responsibilities she has to take up on a daily basis as part of her sales stint right after B-school. She tries to explain how a typical day in a sales role looks like right after your B-school and help you understand what on-ground sales is like, especially in the context of a world ridden with a pandemic.
If you wish to watch the journey of Niharika Gupta from cracking IIM Lucknow to working as a summer intern for HUL and how she cracked a PPO from Colgate Palmolive, you can watch her playlist here: https://bit.ly/3rWWMQE Tell us about your experiences of a sales role? How important do you think it is, keeping in mind your career growth?
