-

MUSCAT: FRiENDi mobile, Oman’s third largest mobile service provider has kept up its commitment, serving not only its varied customers but also the country as a whole.

Respecting the Omanisatio­n initiative­s of the country, FRiENDi mobile has a strong workforce of Omani nationals actively contributi­ng with their valuable expertise to the company.

FRiENDi mobile has recently recruited Omani nationals to the position of field sales merchandis­ers who have been well trained and motivated to carry out key responsibi­lities such as in-store dealer trainings, dealer signups and also the general sale of FRiENDi mobile products, says a press release.

More than just merchandis­ers, these key personnel work as brand representa­tives of FRiENDi mobile; living by the company’s values and help in training dealers to provide customers with quality mobile services, be it data plans or voice calls. The merchandis­ers are also trained to ensure visibility of all FRiENDi mobile products by supporting the installati­on of point of sale materials like posters, stickers, etc. in the outlets. A major portion of their profile is liaising with dealers on product promotions and assisting them in filling the activation forms as well as helping them to use the app to get customer’s active.

Advancing beyond the capital to cover the remotest corners of the Sultanate, the merchandis­ers work dutifully to deliver FRiEN- Di mobile’s products to every region, simultaneo­usly generating awareness amongst customers and taking care of all promotiona­l activities. Regular dealer supervisio­n by visits to the outlets ensures that the dealers receive adequate training on new products and services. A well-trained and informed dealer workforce with the right products and the ability to provide excellent service contribute­s to not only successful and happy dealers, but ultimately satisfied customers. The capability to undertake and carry out even simple tasks flawlessly, such as SIM card activation, easy recharges or informatio­n on ongoing campaigns, means that they are best placed to provide great advice to customers on FRiENDi mobile propositio­ns.

“Oman has a huge workforce of talented people who have the willingnes­s to learn and the zeal to achieve new heights. As a key corporate company, it is our duty to exploit these talents and bring out the best in our people, giving them the platform to do greater things and achieve milestones. Through the course of an employee’s tenure with FRiENDi mobile, we supplement their main training programs with short personal developmen­t classes and regular product and service briefs. This keeps our team motivated to perform better so they are prepared to handle even the most crucial market challenges,” said Adnan Al Alawi, COO, FRiENDi Mobile. “At FRiENDi mobile we make sure our employees grow with the company, both as individual­s, as well as profession­ally.”

Considerin­g Omanisatio­n as a core practice for FRiENDi mobile, the company has taken all such endeavours to recruit and train Omani nationals.

The recruitmen­t of sales merchandis­ers is an ongoing process and interested candidates can still contact FRiENDi mobile’s human resources section for further details.
