Career Mentorship
I take 1:1 calls with people in sales and FMCG who want a real conversation.
Thirty or sixty minutes. Booked on Topmate. Honest answers, structured thinking, no resume rewrites and no recruiter access. Just a useful hour with someone who has been around the block.
Who tends to book these calls.
- A young sales manager four years into the field, wondering whether to stay GT or move to MT, and how to make the move count.
- A trade marketing executive in their first or second job who wants to think out loud about whether they’re building the right depth.
- A mid-career sales head between roles, sitting with two offers and trying to read which one is actually the better seven-year decision.
- An MBA finishing their FMCG internship who has more questions than their two-day onboarding answered.
If you recognise yourself in any of those, you’ll get value from the call. If you don’t — be honest with yourself about what you’re really looking for. There are better people for it.
What we tend to cover.
- 01Career path questions — when to move, when to stay, how to read an offer.
- 02Function-specific questions — sales versus trade marketing, GT versus MT, frontline versus head office, regional versus national.
- 03Skill-building questions — what is actually worth learning at year three versus year seven versus year fifteen.
- 04Manager / leadership questions — how to lead a beat team, how to manage a distributor, how to manage upwards in a large FMCG.
- 05Honest reads on a specific situation — bring me a situation you’re stuck on. We’ll work it through.
I do not do mock interviews, resume rewrites, or referrals into other people’s companies. That’s not the value I add and you’ll be wasting your money if you book me for that.
Worth saying directly
What this isn’t.
This is not a coaching subscription. It is not a recruiter call. It is not a way to get a referral into Coca-Cola, Parle Agro, Reliance Retail or anywhere else. I will not introduce you to a hiring manager I worked with. I do not run a placement service. If that is what you’re looking for, please don’t book — there are people who do that work, and I am not one of them.
- No resume rewrites
- No job referrals
- No recruiter access
What it is: a useful hour. Specific to your situation. Honest, even when it’s not the answer you wanted.
Format
Format and price.
Sessions are 30 minutes or 60 minutes, on Topmate. The 60-minute version is usually the better choice if you have an actual situation to work through. The 30-minute version works well for a single sharp question.
Price is on Topmate at the time of booking. Concession slots are available — if cost is a real barrier and you’re early in your career, message me on LinkedIn and I’ll find a way.
