MY JOURNEY BEING A SALESMAN.......

It was my 2^nd year engineering when, ‘by chance’ I got into this field of Marketing. Then, I just had intentions to make some pocket money so that I can avoid asking for that from my very strict dad. But over a period of time I started realizing that I was good at that. Slowly started liking it, almost by the end of a year I had fallen in love with it completely without even realizing it (love always happens like that you see). In this period I was exposed to enough number of clients, had fallen, got some knowledge & had built a team. But one thing I want to accept here is, I was not making enough money in the field for myself. But deep down I didn’t want to quit because, I was loving what I was doing. I used to enjoy. Slowly realized that I had joined engineering to become ‘Engineer Marketer’. Over this period of 24months is when I discovered myself. I found lot of passion in Marketing.

With many assumptions in my young mind, started off entrepreneurial journey with lot of faith & interest. It really worked out well for a couple of months. Ten months down the line lack of preparation and lack of self development/up gradation with enough assumptions on my mind, fell down royally.

No problem had to fall, so fell. But good thing is that I got solid exposure, knowledge at a comparatively less age. I became confident, very good organizer and an awesome salesman. (I love to call myself a salesman). Slowly with patience started understanding many aspects & arena’s of life. Started reading books, started travelling, & re-started to meet even more people. Biggest realization: If you stop, the world doesn’t stop. So took up marketing again, because I understood Marketing Is crudest form of Entrepreneurship. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you need to be master salesman.

Luckily today at mere 22, I’m a part of 3 start-up’s as the senior marketing in charge. Right company, right people, right age, right products, right ideas, right attitudes contributed & things are really shaping up well. Today I have enough confidence that I’ll be one of the young CMO’s in the coming times. Law of attraction works (I simply believe in it).

Awesome things about marketing that I have realized in my small journey:

You’ll meet people from different backgrounds.

You’ll travel to lot of places.

You’ll be busy always in doing new things or doing things in a new way.

Keeps you engaged in many things like, tweeting, Blogging etc.

It’s an adventure- all in all.

I love Marketing, I live Marketing.
