oh, my former tenant was a conference producer.
there's a lot of research work done with this role.

How2Success, I believe to reach to those top management would involves a lot of lying+bullshit. I don't think there is much use of developing this kind of skill set as I believe this way would eventually destroy your company reputation. But I do agree with you there's some selling skills you can learn from there. However, if you are talking selling training events here, I think nowadays there're too much of training events in the market, its very congested. Company are receiving tons of calls, e-mails and faxes, I think a lot of time chances of you getting deals would be just by luck not by skills, because I think there's ntg much u cn do to show that your events are different from others because it's not.

So the thing you can do would be just, bullshit to get to those top management, talk a little bit(you wont event come to the phase of persuasion as they receive the same hundred calls selling same types of events everyday) and hope they give you their email or whatever, send over to them, and hope that they will chose your training instead of others, not much by persuasion skills because there isin't much of space for you to persuade, unless you lie to them or your event is really something special, than that's a different story.

i quit after 2 weeks~~
it is sucks~~
my team has 10 ppl at first..now everyone left..
damn high turnover

Been there.. and done that;)

Wah...ME people call veli veli annoiying... they bug bug bug to buy

My friend is in marketing in Marcus Evans.
commission very high if can sell. They only sell by emails. Good commission can earn up to 15K

How tough is that?

Marcus Evans ..

The interviewer told me:
1. Everything is through phone. You don't need to meet your customer. However, exception is given under special circumstances.
2. You need to close the deal in 2 days maximum.
3. You will work in a team of 5 normally.
4. The basic probably low, but commission is attractive.
5. You will not call those middle management people that drive Saga, Wira, Vios etc. But those driving BMW, Merz etc.

Questions during interview:
1. Why I should hire you instead of the other applicant? What make you stand out?
2. What do you know about this company?
3. Do you think you can cope with this kind of job, fast pace and stressful?

My comment:
1. The receptionist working there is very rude.
2. I only see young people working there.
3. You must have very good English, communication skills.

I managed to bullcrap my way into gettting the job thinking I would do well. How naive I was.

If you have the tenacity of a terrier and the never say die attitude of Phua Chu Kang, this is the place to be. But be prepared to face unhelpful colleagues, back-stabbing beeyotches and even worse managers.

Wow, understood that its a survival "free for all" between colleagues, but tenacity of a terrier ? A dog I assume ?
=.="
Thought of going for this job, now I have to think THRICE. Hahaha.

i've been there almost 4 months..then i run away. during my tenure, i sold 1 event seat to an African guy, 2 seats to Egyptian, 5 seats to European..over 2 different events.

The experience? S*cks!!!

I raked in the sales, but the payment VERY slow, so my commission came in slow. My basic when I left was 500 ringgit. What can I buy at 500? Only enough for parking + fuel + phone..had to beg my dad for food money..shame on me. I felt like a loser..

but through the training and working experience you get there , it is really help full for your own carreer progress in other companies

Hi All,

Do not, I repeat do not entertain this company, whether as an employee, or a potential business partner, or as a delegate in on of their conferences/ summits/ events and this is why:

I have been an ex employee for a few years, and admittedly it has take me a while to improve my self esteem and self believe after working for this low classed, scheming and downright illegal company. I will start will the conference production side as I know about their practices there and feel sorry and guilty for lying and cheating( under duress fr senior management)

The speakers invited are usually faked to rake in sales. Marcus evans will downright lie about famous CEOs, VPs etc that have agreed to speak in their events. This is mainly done for a few reasons - to get sponsorship fr unsuspecting companies, and of course to get sales. Sometimes they will put power names to sell the tickets( knowing that these speakers have in not way either verbal or email confirmed) and then send an email 1 week before to advise that the speaker is sick/ family disaster etc, already pocketing your cash. As they have no refund policy, you have no choice but to attend a replacement event, whether its related or not. I have known many conferences which were scheduled to be cancelled anyway, but sales went on all the way till 1 day before the event!

There are also alot of scandals and people sleeping with each other there, and unlike most companies, these are actually encouraged. Ask anyone about a certain GM that slept with 2 of his colleagues and got one pregnant, in fact he tried to force her to abort etc but she didnt, in the end he was transferred and every1 in senior mgmt laughed about it...

They really have no ethics what so ever, with titles such as CEOs, VPs, business development director etc thrown everywhere. You get praised for lying and scheming to get the business.

These are just scratch and win ppl in suits, nothin more. Most ppl there are always drunk, on drugs and in a bad mood. Many trainers, speakers aren't paid after being promised a certain fee.. and mostly these guys speak once, get cheated and never ever deal with marcus evans again. I have known trainers who were promised a certain fee, only to be told the producer has left, will you accept 50% or nothing at all? .. or similiar cock and bull excuses that offices have moved...

The way the treat their staff is shit, directors and actually nothing more than Mcdonalds employees i.e. its a title only, you can be demoted or promoted and u earn as much, or less than them anyways.

The same goes with getting sponsors. Lies after lies and fake bloated figures are given to potential 'idiots' who might want to sponsor the event. They will promise 100 senior decision makers, make up a fake attendee list, only for the sponsor to show up with 20-25 low level ppl, or sometimes they even give out free tickets if sales are really bad.

Just google this company, or ask 10 ppl about marcus evans, you will get you answer about this dishonest and classless act of a company

ha ha what BS company.

Gov should close them down .

" Ask anyone about a certain GM that slept with 2 of his colleagues and got one pregnant "

guarantee you it was that Indian GM . LOL

hey we should respam these F**. lets all send in false applics BS them and say nah don't need you , too s***.
