Absolutely a massive learning curve.

No workday is the same. I have 10 sales people reporting to me. The geographical area stretches from Gordon's Bay all along the coast up to Muizenberg. The division that I work in , works in the informal economy sector. Spas shops and Key accounts are of vital importance. I have an excellent working relationship with my co workers. I have learnt that marketing and sales in to the informal economy sector is vastly different to the formal economic sector. I enjoy the challenges we face on a daily basis. Crime ridden areas makes the work extremely difficult and dangerous.

Pros: Great learning experience.
Cons: Crime ridden areas makes the work extremely difficult and dangerous
