Let’s learn about his journey.
Mr. Jahid Hasan, please share your professional and academic peregrination for our readers!
I pursued my bachelor degree in Marketing from a private university. I started my career as a sales representative while I was a student. After that I have had the opportunity to work for one of Xiaomi’s national distribution companies named Solar Electro Bangladesh Limited (SEBL) which led me to my current role as National Sales Manager at Amaya Industries (national distributor of Xiaomi consumer electronics).
Can you describe your approach to developing and executing successful sales strategies, especially in the context of your role as a Sales Manager at Amaya Industries?
The main key to success in the execution of converting a idea into a potential business with effective communication. My approach to any business communication was to ensure commitment and maintain effective communication to my partners and stakeholders during my entire tenure as Sales Manager at Amaya Industries.
How do you stay updated on industry trends and competitor activities to ensure your sales team is well-informed and can adapt to market changes effectively?
I have always believed in innovative approach and constant growth when it comes to making a substantial impact in the market. My strategy is to stay updated on newest of technologies, analyze it and see if aligns with the business goal. At the same time, I study and observe the brand’s competitors’ approach to the same adaptation to understand their strategy to the market.
Mr. Jahid Hasan, can you share a specific example of a challenging sales situation you successfully navigated at Amaya Industries, highlighting the strategies and tactics you employed to achieve a positive outcome?
The field of sales, no matter which industry does it belong to, has its own challenges and barriers that requires mitigation time to time. One of such challenges surfaced back in first quarter of 2023 when we were launching one of our exclusive products for the first time in Bangladesh and I had to guide our sales team to chase the vision. Furthermore, even though it can be difficult to launch a new product into the market, it’s critical to highlight the financial and long-term advantages for all involved parties. And in such a circumstance, I had to collaborate with both my team and the distribution channel to comprehend their unique requirements and modify the offering appropriately.
In every business, it is important to drive the numbers after a certain period of time. And thankfully, we as a team achieved that through a combination of reinforcing the value proposition, offering customized packages, lucrative incentive program, transparent communication about product roadmaps, and collaborative problem-solving. This strategy not only secured a significant contract for Amaya Industries but also strengthened the relationship with the client.
In your role as Sales Manager, how do you foster a collaborative and high-performance culture within your sales team to ensure they consistently meet and exceed targets?
To generate a high-performance culture within the sales team, it is important to clearly communicate sales targets, expectations, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to your team. Which is why I ensure that each team member understands their individual goals and how should they contribute to the overall team objectives.
Given the evolving nature of sales technologies, how do you incorporate innovative tools and methodologies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales team at Amaya Industries?
One of the key responsibilities of a sales manager is to provide high-priority technologies and an efficient approach to pursuing sales targets. I always attempt to create uncharted territory for exploring technique and lead my team to an innovative approach in order to help my sales team reach their full potential. As a sales manager, I constantly encourage my staff to satisfy distributor demands, inquire about their needs, and offer them the incentives they require in order to maintain the smooth operation of product distribution.
