Aussie Farmers Direct

Worked for 2 years as a door representative in Melbourne and Perth.
Cold Canvassing, signing up new customers on the door to enable them to receive farm produce delivered to their doorsteps 2-3 days per week. 
Got to know Melbourne and Perth really well.
Attained good customer service and rapport building skills, got along well with team managers and my co-workers, many who came from Ireland and UK to work. 
Hard areas of the city produced low earning for the days work. 
Working on the streets in the dark before work-safe policies came in to practice. 
Overall, had a good experience, even working in regional parts of Victoria - Ballarat and Geelong. 
Was able to break some records and be recognised for my 2 year stint in the company.

A typical day for me was Checking and replying to emails from customers and respond answering there questions. Answer incoming calls from customers, dealing with complaints, changing orders and data. I also called exisiting customers to gain feedback and data about the company and entered it on to the database. Upsold customers on new and exsiting products.

I learned that orgainisation is the key to the running of most businesses, i learned how to build a repor with customers quickly. I loved that the work was always at high pace and enjoyed working to targets and to the best of my ablity.

I enjoyed working at Aussie farmers direct as i learnt a lot about sales and interacted with the public. i enjoyed working with my other team mates but i also liked the fact of having my own goals to reach working on my own. you would go door to door and sell produce to the public. i love interacting with other people so going from door to door meeting other people of the public was the best part for me.The hardest part was the change in weather all the time. i had a laugh with my co-workers and we got on really well as a team.

This job took up much of your time and even with the commission schedule the hours worked out to be below minimum wage in Australia. We walked entire neighborhoods which was wonderful, but did not help me learn any of the area as we were bused in. The rejection and success involved in the salesman experience is a valuable skill and this can be a fast paced way of gaining those skills.

I have learned how to build rapport with others and how to develop myself by developing the company where I'm working.
I checked what we were missing, and fixed it up.
And It was fun for me to work in a flexible working condition to cover others. I still have good memories about this company and co-workers, especially the manager and leading hand who retired this August.

this was not a good place to work you could be called into to work with less than 5mins notice i had my phoned turned of for 4 days(which just happen to be my rostered days off) so i got a text message when i turned my phone on and it was a message saying i had been sacked due to not answering my phone on my days off this is the type of people that run this business

Supportive, positive team members
Learned excellent customer service and people skills
Improved confidence in dealing with complex customers with specific needs
Relaxed, fun atmosphere
Learned invaluable time management skills

Workplace Culture,was not perfect.
Management changed a few times while I was employed.
A lot of staff came and went,and are now good friends.
The hardest part was leaving.
Working on HOT days were the best,as we worked in Cool Rooms.
Some of the workers were a Good laugh and I considered Family.

I enjoy working with Aussie Farmers Direct as it has helped me with my current employment situation and has enabled me to have a healthy work life balance. I have only been living in Australia for a short time but this job has helped me achieve my goals I had set out while living in Australia.

This was a good product to push. Selling groceries door to door. I was able to learn a lot about how to handle objections. Worked with a great group of people.
