Sales and trading

[PeterLe]

Hi
I work in sales too
We work on projected pipeline business and try to work on a funnel basis as a ratio. The more opportunities you can get in, the more chance you have of closing. If you have no pipeline, then there's a good chance you will fail.
Pipeline is projected as far forward as 12 months too.
Its EXACTLY the same principle in trading, thats why I loved auto trading in the early days as you could get lots of volume through..
regards
Peter

Nice vids. What is pipeline business peterle?

[Euler]

Sales pipeline, its a term used to project business. Fill up your funnel with lots of prospects and some sales will come out of the bottom.

Sorry Steve, missed that; thanks Peter

[steven1976]

Ah thanks. Peterle is from the posh side of Manchester. Round our way we say, chuck enough..... against the wall and eventually something will stick!

[PeterLe]

Ha ha! Well Ive been called a lot in my time but posh aint one of them!
My kids dont believe me when I tell them we (like many families in the North of England) had an outside loo in the 1960's!
Steve that ain't posh!

Some rather worrying parts to the job:

~Responsible for defining new pricing initiatives from concept to execution and accountable for the full product lifecycle, including determining revenue uplift, defining product requirements, and implementing pricing trials.

~Working with Third Party specialists who will provide insights on pricing optimisation strategies

~Responsible for meeting revenue targets by making pricing changes

[BJGardner]

Yes or perhaps they are preparing for some competition from Ladbrokes.

That pricing talk could be about foreign territories. No need to be working with third party experts to know how to shaft us any more!

[LinusP]

Responsible for managing and leading a team of four pricing analysts

Ah the crack trading team, I owe them a few drinks.

Sounds interesting Marc.

When you say 'working for Amazon', will you be selling things on their site, or will you be an Amazon employee?

Hi Marc

Being able to do a job like that from home is cool. I think more customer service jobs should offer the option of home working (although it won't happen, as it would put many middle managers out of work!).

Good luck with it.
