Area Manager
Cleaning Clinic
Johannesburg Area, South Africa
I worked as an Area Manager responsible for our machinery and cleaning products in outlets across South Africa. I worked 10 or 11 hours a day, meeting with 6-10 clients a day. I would often drive 400+ kilometers a day. I learned to service the machinery, invoice the clients for sales (often dealing in cash), I created new clients for the company, merchandised and promoted the products. I learned quickly that the customer is always the number one priority in the retail industry.
