You are asked to sell their trainings and seminar products to the top management of an company. You have chance to meet the managers, CEO and CxO.
Working environment is quite competitive between colleagues. Seldom share thing especially business related info. No fun to work. Most of the time, you are one-man
and have to deliver targeted sales within the time line. If u failed it, then you have to bear all the transportation cost by your own. If you successful to meet the target, then you will eat good and sleep good

good company
This is a garbage and lousy company that uses cheap tactic to con cheap salesman. Warning, don’t be fooled by them.
This is a unfair report on the company, purely because it is giving the perspective from those working in the sales department alone and even that it is unclear. I know of three people working there currently and have been earning way above the average income of their age group and have gotten posted overseas, like in Spain, France and other countries. Fact of the matter is simple, if you are good you will get rewarded based on performance. Its a merit based company without space for losers to work in it. If your one of those who want a 9-5 and expect to laze about at work, this company isnt for you. It isnt for losers, but for driven people.
If you see your passion in conference production… try to link up a blood line to someone in the team. that will help get you a place in the team in no time. research work is not too intense, surf by some competitors webistes or go through marcus evans events in the other contients and rebrand it with a bombastic name and viola… job is all done. if you want something more challenging join sales.
In sales, you get a super low basic, and zero staff benefits. Most sales are taken by the senior executives and managers in the company with much higher commission structure. The bosses makes the most sales with almost no effort. their job is to come up with reasons to justify why they are taking the sale away from you. you have to make a few hundred calls a day and make about a sales a week while the bosses make 4~5 deals in the same period of time with 10 calls a day, enjoying commission of 17% while you slog to enjoy that 10%. All contracts sent out are in the manager’s names which technically means the sales belongs to them.
not much traveling unless u are part of the gang(or is in production), and possibily only to places where the KL boss control, which are penang, bangkok and middle east (this is at level 21 of the same building). There are 3 different sales units, Asia pacfic, middle east and marketing. They hype up the asia pacific division by claiming to look after the region but in actualy fact they are many other offices in the region covering the same region. middle east cold calls into middle east working till late in the night. marketing the bane of the other 2 divisions canabalising any sales that they can get hold of.
plus points - if you are one who enjoy partying, drinking and buttering up.. you will get to the top quick. Free flow of booze and alcohol comes along once every 2 months, which is a big highlight of the month. End of the year party is another superb avenue to get wasted and watch the bosses gets slurry, violent and rac**t….
For those who thrive on big bombastic job titles like International Sales Executive, Regional Asia PAcific execuive, this is the place to be in.
Tips to succeed. to get a payrise or a promotion:
theatren to resign. you will get an adjustment and an ungrade of your job title almost instantly.
have to smoke and hang out at the smoking corner
have to be able ot hold your liqor and must must enjoy laughing along to bosses’s jokes.
or one of the more common and effective method is to get into a relationship with one of the bossess… although there are not that many left that are available to get hitched… but it can be worht your time.
big earnings in this company is all an illusion. everyone normally only remember the big big months. no one remember the months when they bring home their basic. apply to find out more! you will get a call in the next couple of hrs and be offered a position in the evening on the day of the interview…..

Seems to be an unethical,slimy, cut throat, lying and conniving Toronto office. It’s a good job if you are a narcissist, and you like to lie and always get your way.
I was there for a 2 day training and had to leave at the end of my second day training, because I was ill. I told one of the Sales managers, BUT, I did not get “permission” from my supervising tyrant’mommy’ and as a consequece broke 1 of the 10 commandments: always tell them what you are doing. A case for a Forensic psychologist!
It seems like she may get sued for violating HR policies on illness.
How much was the base salary? I’m supposed to be going for an interview and now i really don’t want to!
low basic salary?how low is low?mind sharing with us the figure?
ya, mind share the salary?
totally Agree with Sam. I was attached to this company sometime in 2006. I must say one thing though, despite it all;the torture, the stress, the ass kissing, one thing i will always appreciate gaining from ME is the sales training. They teach you to be rootless and cunning and scheming and make you do what ever it takes, including working till 2am to call people in the US to participate in an exhibition in KL!…
No for the faint of heart i must say. But an experience none the less
