Expose to physical and technical sales concepts
It was essential to actively build a solid rapport with co-workers to provide a fun/energetic flow. Activations were at malls, universities, private functions, night clubs, pharmacies. It was important to understand product dynamics. Eg. premium tech devices require concise communication of hardware/software features where luxury alcohol sales need an approach of oppulence and exclusivity. An essential component aswell was communicating key features of a product without loosing the client's attention. Physical sales techniques I learned were use of posture, tone of voice, facial expression and reception, usage of hand gestures. I enjoyed interacting with the clients and the events we were part of; private concerts, sports events, opulent night clubs, university festivals. There has been an issue of language barriers in areas where multiple vernac tongues dominate english.
Pros: Company offers many vibrant, reputable product campaigns
Cons: Employees are viewed as one large machine, thus individual brilliance goes un noticed

Excellent way to gain experience in the industry
Working at Provantage was one the places where you learnt to do more with less which was one of the things my project manager use to say to us. As much as we were expected to deliver intelligent and outstanding marketing but we worked at the most unworkable places like Pinetown rank where there are a number of dangers to outdoor promotions. When elected as team leader you had to make sure your teammates were safe without cause any kind of person feeling out of the team. It was marketing at it's best . For me I would say my challenge was transport for evening shifts which dented alot into myself as there was no transport money provided
Pros: Learning to compromise and thing on my feet
Cons: Never knowing when if you will get into the next campaign

Life of a retail sales person
Encountering with new people each day can be difficult as they are not easily convinced on what to purchase with their own money, co workers makes the day go by well as it can sometimes get too quite on the business side, I have learnt that in life you must be open to new views and be willing to listen to what others have to offer you, most challenging part about my job is meeting target even when business is on rocket roll
Pros: Meeting new people everyday and engaging with different stores and challenges
Cons: Working on a Sunday is never an easy thing to do.
