When asked if she was happy with her life, Deborah replied, "Yes! I am happy with the way my life is turning out." She credits her job with Jiji, one of Nigeria's biggest companies, for providing her with flexible working hours and a handsome financial return.
Deborah's typical workday starts before she even leaves her house. She plans ahead, deciding which clients to visit and which new sellers to scout. As an Offline Sales Agent, her focus is on converting more sellers to premium subscribers, and with Jiji's dominance in the market, she finds it relatively easy to convince them of the benefits.
Her favorite field of action is the Ikeja Computer Village in Lagos State, where she feels like a warrior stepping into the battlefield. Despite the crowds, she's always on the lookout for shops that aren't yet on the Jiji platform.
Visiting old clients might not be everyone's favorite part of the job, but Deborah believes that building a cordial relationship with sellers makes it feel less like work. She's always on their speed dial, ready to help with any issues they may have with their adverts.
Deborah's favorite sellers are those who are grateful for introducing them to Jiji. They often share testimonials and spread word of mouth among their business community, making her job easier. As a token of appreciation, some sellers even gift her items from their shops.
For Deborah, resolving problems gives her a sense of purpose, and she gets to do it on her own terms. With solid compensation, she's living the life most people only dream of.
