    Win the Shelf: Selling FMCG in Eldoret

    This role is about being the face of the brand in a fast-moving consumer goods market. Hiring managers will look for someone who can talk to anyone, keep records straight, and move stock. Show them you understand the local market and can build trust with retailers and community groups.

    1. Prove you know the customer: In your CV and interview, give specific examples of how you've engaged with customers in retail or community settings. Mention any experience with women's groups or grassroots marketing—it's a plus here.

    2. Show your numbers game: Be ready to talk about how you've used Excel or Google Sheets to track sales or stock. Bring a simple example of a sales tracker you've used or created.

    3. Demonstrate POS fluency: If you've used a point-of-sale system, name it and describe what you did. If not, show you can learn quickly—maybe take a quick online tutorial before the interview.

    4. Prepare a mini pitch: Practice a 30-second pitch for a food product. They'll want to see how you talk to customers and make a product appealing.

    5. Understand the local market: Research Eldoret's retail scene—know the main markets, supermarkets, and eateries. Mention how you'd approach them.

    6. Highlight relationship-building: Sales here is about repeat customers. Share a story where you turned a one-time buyer into a regular.

    7. Be ready for stock-taking: You'll likely do stock counts. Show you're organized and detail-oriented—mention any inventory experience.

    8. Show passion for the brand: Learn about Mamlo Foods and their products. In your cover letter or interview, explain why you're excited to represent them.
