Miss Sales Manager - Volume 1 Chapter 15

Tina was surprised to hear the proposal, marketing head.. it sounded awesome. She controlled her excitement and asked Jason, ‘why do you feel that I have to take up the role of marketing head? I am one of the top performing sales managers, why can’t I be the sales head instead? ‘ he smiled at her, this was a surprise for him.. he thought that she will jump and grab the opportunity but she was questioning his decision.

This woman has an interesting character. Jason said, ‘Tina, brand management is not easy, we are planning to launch few products this year, it will be a great experience for you, being involved from product launch, running campaigns, driving the sales from marketing perspective is a great experience. One can’t become a good sales head without having marketing background.. being a woman, you will have a better aptitude towards learning and teaching compared to men, learning marketing will help your career to grow..I feel you are best suited for this role.. think about this and tell me your decision in two days.. ‘ he said.

Tina nodded and took her leave, honestly she was excited and her heart was dancing with joy. Getting the position of marketing head in such young age was not easy, finally some good things are happening. Her career is very important, and as Jason suggested, Tina understood the importance of marketing, she knew that if a product was not taken into customers in a proper way, then that product has a high chance of failure.

She went to her cubicle, opened her laptop but couldn’t focus. Her excitement didn’t come down, she felt like going to Jason and accepting the proposal straight away. But it will not be appropriate. She must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of marketing job versus sales job. Only then she will succeed.

Fred messaged her saying that he was waiting outside the office, she packed her stuff, informed Jason that she will think about the offer and left. Fred was wearing a blue shirt and black trouser, he was smiling ear to ear like a kid looking at his favorite chocolate. Tina felt that Fred was a child who grew up into an a.d.u.l.t without completely losing the charm of childhood.

They both greeted each other, Fred brought Tina’s car. He gave her keys, Tina said, ‘Fred, let’s go and have some coffee.. I want to speak to you.. ‘ he nodded and got into the car, Tina was driving. He was looking at Tina and thinking that with her figure, attitude, dignity and charm she is a complete package.

They stopped at Starbucks and went in, Tina ordered a double cappuccino and Fred took an espresso. Tina said, ‘Jason offered me the position of Marketing head.. ‘ Fred looked at Tina with surprise, he said, ‘wow that is great news.. what did you say? ‘ she shrugged, ‘nothing.. I have two days time to decide.. what do you think? ‘he said, ‘take it.. learning marketing and launching products, branding will help you grow’, she nodded, ‘Jason said exactly the same, I will accept it.. but only with a revised salary.. ‘ and she winked.. this cute act made Fred’s heart skip a beat. He felt like pinching her cheeks , but restrained himself.

Then Fred said, ‘Did Jason tell you that he was dividing the team into marketing and sales? ‘ Tina nodded, he raised an eyebrow and said ‘guess who was offered the position of sales head? ‘ she looked at Fred and let out a silly shriek like an excited teenager, ‘you? sales head? ‘ he nodded with a smug self satisfied face.. Tina snorted at his act and asked, ‘what about Shanghai? ‘ he said, ‘I didn’t want to go.. leaving everything behind is not easy.. ‘ she felt a warm happiness in her heart.

Fred cleared his throat loudly and said, ‘since both of us will be heading two verticals and since both of us will remain in Delhi for some time.. can you consider giving me a chance..? ‘ she blushed attractively but acted as if she didn’t understand what he said and looked at him questioningly.

He knew she wanted to hear it again, he said, ‘Ok Miss Manager, will you date me? ‘…
