what other jobs a marketing mba can get other than direct selling,visiting customers houses .?
actually i am a very shy person,i complete my graduation in arts stream so i prefer marketing but dont want to engage myself in direct selling or maintaining customer relationship and visiting their houses.what are the others options before me after completing the marketing MBA.what are the other portfolios that i can work in future.
Jere answers:
You are potentially qualified to have your own successful Internet marketing business. You can be an anonymous marketer promoting products and services through content marketing. You can even conquer your own shyness eventually. Many of the IM big dogs are shy people.
Marketing in the manner that you described is a struggle. What you should do is not to go after your prospects but to do something where your prospects will naturally follow you. What you have in your head is a lot of practical advice. Share it with the world. Contribute content to the Internet. Write, publish, then earn recurring income.
You can start for free as there are free blogging platforms and hosted website facilities. You can even start just by creating topical content at Web 2.0 sites like HubPages and Squidoo.
Choose a niche market you find comfortable with. Build on it. Find affiliate programs to promote. Eventually you will master the nuances of Internet marketing and make more money than you would normally do while slaving for a day job.

Direct Sales Jobs?
Why does everyone think direct sales or direct marketing jobs are scams. I know there are a lot of scams out there, but how do I introduce my opportunity without someone writing it off as a scam ?

Hmm, thanks for your honest feedback, Amanda. I was trying to be as honest as possible because I did climb the corp ladder and decided to stay home to be with my son. The reason you can’t buy from my site is because we don’t “sell” the products ourselves. It’s called referral marketing – we refer consumers to the company. How else can I phrase that? I will try and update it, but would appreciate any additional feedback. Thanks!

How enjoyable is a job in outsourced direct marketing?
I’m currently happily working as a warehouse manager, but I have been offered a direct marketing job with slightly better pay. They offer similar benefits and advancement opportunities, I’m just wondering if the change in atmosphere and commute is worth it. The thing that concerns me is I don’t know if direct marketing is enjoyable or stressful. The job entails giving sales presentations to businesses. The products I’d sell would be conferencing and phone services.
So anyone who’s had or knows someone who has had a job like this tell me, is direct marketing a somewhat fun job or will I feel terrible and exhausted when I come home every day (based on the stress levels in this field)?
Jere answers:
Direct marketing is a completely different skillset, and it is definately stressful. You will be a salesperson, which requires you to really get out there and hustle. If you are a self-motivated person who is good at communication, people skills, and persuasion, go for it, but it will not be a walk in the park.
Call the company, pretending to be a stranger, ask to speak to one of thier direct marketers, and ask them for the lowdown.

Mandy asks…
Marketing jobs involving commercials?
I’ve recently become interested in getting a job in marketing. In the past I’ve only been interested in jobs in the film industry, but the industry doesn’t seem very reliable for getting a job. What marketing jobs involve commercials? I know directing commercials is an entirely different job, but are there any marking jobs that involve working with commercials, preferrably high-paying? I want to major in marketing and minor in telecommunication. Does this sound like a good idea? Also, are there any marketing jobs that involve computers and media other than the television?
Jere answers:
Graphic design is heavily computer based, and its marketing influence is widespread. Even if you don’t get a job in it, I’d suggest knowing your way around Photoshop just as a general beneficial skill. Marketing itself is a job, actually. You work within a company to market products. There’s also public relations, that seems to be more of an active job than a desk job though.
Basically, send your resume to the company, see what happens. You probably wont be placed in a high-paying position first off, but you work your way up the line by doing a good job. Most likely you’ll be a sales/marketing position.
I’d suggest going with Marketing/business/telecommunications. Double minor or double major if you can handle it. Companies drool all over MBAs.
