@_PEEKAZO@AminuDalhat You’re an outsourced staff, yea? You didn’t respond to his earlier question.
Also, the RMs on suspension is not because of performance, correct? Also, if the other RM was sacked, it’s because he hasn’t been confirmed for over a year, despite the probation extension for EHs?
When I interviewed with a Bank for the next level grade BO, I was an ABO then. During the interview, I committed to bring ₦3 billion in deposits within six months and ₦1 billion in loans.
The funny thing was that there was no cabal of such numbers anywhere. I was just an ambitious man making a commitment just to land a job.
My deposit portfolio was barely ₦1 billion and I was doing less than ₦200 million in loans at my current workplace.
I made a bigger commitment during the interview because I knew I had to. At that stage, nobody rewards conservative targets. If I wanted the role, I had to show that I was willing to think big and take responsibility for delivering results.
Finally I got the offer. Of course, I had doubts. I wondered if I had promised too much. But then I started the new job with big energy.
When I resumed, I would come in the morning, spend a few hours in the office and leave immediately, but I would always ensure I tell my BM I was going to see a customer.
This was something I always do and the BM started taking note of my activities.
I also made sure my manager was always aware of my activities and performance. I responded quickly to emails, submitted reports on time, and stayed visible. I made big impression.
I became the BMs go to person and that was how he started giving me transactions to treat.
Before long, I got my confirmation and promotion.
Many sales people are scared of the commitments they make during interviews.
My advice is this: get the job first.
Stop worrying too much about the targets you mentioned during the interview.
Start the new role with big energy, a positive mindset and a willingness to deliver.
You never can tell who will support you, who will open a door for you or which opportunity will change your numbers.
Still can’t forget 1st Feb 2025. Parked my car and came back to an empty space.
Can’t say which is worst when it comes to a loss like this but the feeling and trauma is beyond comprehension.
