My Objections To the hiring manager

Lack of Business intelligence - A country manager must have business intelligence skills to

gain insights from data. Data-driven decisions require someone who understands the essence of

different data points either from structured data or big data. The company has been in operation

for some years now. Expansion in the new markets will depend very much of data from different

sources such as customer spending behaviours, suppliers, and competitors. Currently, you do

lack basic knowledge in statistics and tools for data analytics such as Microsoft spreadsheet,

python, and SPSS. For a manager who seeks to manage a country branch, most of the decision

making will rely on insights drawn from data.

Lack of people management skills- for a manager that seeks to manage a new branch in another

company, it is imperative to have people management skills. You will not work alone but

working in a new market demands that you have skills for managing other people who come

from different cultural backgrounds. Poor management skills are likely to result in many

conflicts and strikes. Whenever this arises in the company, we are likely to experience High

turnover, lower performance, and lower morale among employees. A majority of disgruntled

employees are likely to record high lawsuits.

Lack of skills working agents - the business will rely heavily on a strong partnership with

agents ‌in the new market. According to the company operation business model, the country must

be someone who has skills of creating and maintaining a high number of agents. Presently,

according to your resume, you have only worked at a departmental level while maintaining the

company customer accounts. Working with agents means visiting agents' areas of operations and

pitching the company ideas. This will help strengthen the relationship between the company and

future agents.
Question Six - Strategies to overcome objections

First, based on the lack of business intelligence skills, I acknowledge your concern about

the person you would like to work with in the new market. I have been taking online classes

since I got the chance to work in this company. Immediately I began working in the current

position, I realised that most of the work involved handling internal data from customers.

Besides, other co-workers encouraged me to enrol in the online course. I understand my resume

does not display such skills. I have not yet updated my resume to reflect the new skills.

Second, concerning the aspect of people management skills, I acknowledge ‌it forms one

of the important requirements for handling employees from the local community. I think the

company has provided me with an efficient environment to learn interpersonal skills. Even

though it is not expressed in the resume, I have been in a constant learning journey in this

company. Besides, I am a feast learner. I will take a short term to onboard and learn everything

from the new market.
