Great learning experience
It was a challenging and very exciting experience learning about new things and closing sales deals felt good, Supervising staff as well was a bit challenging at first until i came up with different activities to involve them and encouraging team work as well. i learned a lot and improved a lot on both personal and professional levels. My strength improved as well and i worked on my abilities to be incharge. i enjoyed communicating with clients a lot as it taught me to understand most of their needs and different products needs. the most difficult and challenging aspects was sometimes to fulfill some of the promises especially with stock delivery due to shortage of stock.
Pros: good chance to grow
Cons: stressful situations
