Sales and Marketing Rep - Sales and Marketing Representative Acquire Employee Review

Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for your review. We’re glad you were welcomed at Acquire by a team you enjoyed! However, we regret to hear your feelings toward us shifted as you spent more time here. In regards to your advice to, “not plan on this being a long term job,” we attract a younger demographic, and a study performed by Career Builder in 2017 showed 25% of young adults would have held at least 5 different jobs by age 35. As stated by the Harvard Business Review, “Millennials are consumers of the workplace. They shop for jobs that best align with their needs and life goals.” “Job hopping,” has become a social normality and is not necessarily a bad thing if it allows one to find their career development footing. For Acquire, partnering with new clients brings new markets in different areas, and in order to meet the demands, we must always be hiring. As for the marketing aspect of our company, most people hear, “marketing,” and think of creating and sharing content on social media or other media outlets in hopes of their target audience seeing their brand and buying their product or idea. Marketing comes in many different forms, and while we do not conduct large scale media marketing campaigns for our clients, we are able to market their brands and services in ways they couldn’t prior to partnering with us. How do we do this? We market our clients’ services, promos and products inside big box retailers such as Costco and Sam’s Club. This is done in an effort to reach a larger audience, build loyalty between our clients and their customers as well as drive new revenue for our clientele. Business Dictionary and Wikipedia define marketing as: “A management process through which goods and services move from concept to consumer; Marketing is used to create, keep, and satisfy the customer.” This precise definition is a large component of Acquire’s offerings. The clients we work with have locations across the country and when a high demand isn’t being met in a particular market outside of our own we send our team to fulfill those needs. Those travel expenses are paid for by our company, which include, but are not limited to, airfare, car rentals and hotel fees. Part of our daily work schedule is traveling to clients within our market, and, we, like most companies requiring employees to travel within their territory, do not cover those travel expenses. While those particular expenses are not covered, they should be tracked by the employee and filed with the employee’s annual taxes, which will then be reimbursed. Finally, to state that our, “employee promotions have no meaning,” is simply your opinion. Our team members who earn promotions within our company have openly expressed how greatly appreciative and proud they are to receive them. The meaning behind our promotions is to recognize employees who are excelling and not only boost their confidence and motivate the rest of the team but also give them more responsibility and accountability in an effort to develop them into stronger businesswomen and men. With being promoted into positions of influence they also become eligible to receive PTO and other benefits. Again, thank you for your feedback and giving us the opportunity to explain our business a bit better for yourself and others! Kind Regards, Human Resources Dept. Acquire
