SOL: Welcome here! Chinenye, what makes you, you?

Chinenye: My values, my strengths and my weaknesses.

SOL: At what point did you discover yourself?

Chinenye: Self-discovery is a continuous process. However, I got to discover I could be an exceptional sales person after several failed job search which made me to reluctantly pick-up the Direct Sale Agent offer in 2013. I was determined to be successful and that was my driving force from the word “go”. Each success, and failure helped me in self-discovery even until now.

SOL: What has been your experience as a Direct Sales Agent?

Chinenye: Sometimes, it’s like a bumpy ride, and a times, exciting and interesting. All in all, it is a path worth journeying and my hope is to be a trail blazer as a sale agent.

SOL: What are the triggers for success as a Sales Agent?

Chinenye: Hmmmm, let’s start with what sales require; these include; 

• Ability to identify a potential customer.
• High level of persuasive skills.
• Consistency of effort.
• Knowledge of the products.
• Ability to sell the right product to the right person.

Success is dependent on the extent to which a sales agent can doggedly pursue those yardsticks. The pitfall is trying halfway and being tired. 

SOL: On a scale of 1-10, rate your achievements since 2013 when you took this offer.

Chinenye: I have done very well for myself. Financially, I have grown so well over the years. I started with a monthly salary of #18,000 and my first commission was #3000. My last average balance was 7 digits and still growing. I will score myself 8.

SOL: How did you attain this height?

Chinenye: I know my onions. I have a deep knowledge of my products which helps me sell more easily as well as retain my customers. I am proud of what I do. Confident and bold. I am very apt while pitching customers. Always precise and eager to jump on how banking with my bank would benefit them. I am always ready to assist customers. These have endeared me to their hearts. Above all, integrity is a value I prioritize.

SOL: What was your most exciting moment?

Chinenye: Each time I notice an increase in my deposits. I get really excited knowing full well that I am getting richer.

SOL: What about the most unpleasant experience?

Chinenye: I had had to work with a very unnecessarily rigid and difficult superior at a time. I lost so many customers. There was low customer satisfaction and it was really hard for me. However, I could say I survived it and that is why I am still standing!

SOL: How do you wind down?

Chinenye: I am always refreshed and energized each time I achieve a set goal. That is my most favourable way of having leisure. Thinking about the hassles and now the success. I smile and feel a sense of satisfaction, power, superiority and purpose.

SOL: Who is Chinenye in the next five years?

Chinenye: (Smiles) She is a major distributor of Engine Oil in large quantity to both wholesalers and distributors.

SOL: It’s been great having you here.

Chinenye: My pleasure! Thanks for having me!
