Your practice track for Sales Representative
at PMFTC (Philip Morris Philippines)

Philippine-specific tips for this role

• ▸ Many Filipino candidates might say 'Suki, bibili ka na naman ng yosi? Eto lang ba talaga?' which sounds casual but lacks professionalism. Instead, maintain respect and use 'Good morning po, Sir! Kumusta ang tindahan ninyo?' to open a polite conversation that leads to sales opportunities.
• ▸ Candidates often say 'Mahirap po yung 6 AM araw-araw, pero kakayanin kasi kailangan eh' which sounds like you're just enduring. Instead, express proactive readiness: 'I've managed early starts and long days in previous activities by planning my rest, so I'm confident I can maintain high performance in the field.'
• ▸ A common mistake is being pushy: 'Ma'am, kailangan po natin ito kasi sabi ng manager' which disregards the owner's perspective. Instead, say 'Naiintindihan ko po na maliit ang space ninyo, kaya itong display ay sakto lang at subok na nakaka-attract ng customers.' to show empathy.
• ▸ Some candidates might say 'Okay lang po sa akin kahit tobacco, kailangan ko lang ng trabaho' which suggests indifference. Instead, express a genuine, matter-of-fact interest: 'I've seen how important tobacco products are for sari-sari stores, and I want to help those store owners succeed while building a sales career.'
