The story:
My store is about a famous Chinese investment holding company: Alibaba.The company, together with its subsidiaries, are engaged in the provision of software, technology and other services on the online business-to-business (B2B) marketplaces with the uniform resource locators www.alibaba.com, www.1688.com and under the trade name Alibaba (the B2B services).
The company also provides other Internet based services, such as software applications, domain name registration, Website hosting and solutions, email hosting and technology-related consulting services on various marketplaces and platforms. It operates its business in the People’s Republic of China.
B2B services involved with the fist product “TrustPass”. And one of my good friends work in Alibaba company, and his responsibility is to sell “Trustpass”. He told me that he and his workmates are divided into different departments and joined in various teams depend on the style of working. Accordingly, different departments are in charge of selling the product in specific regions. In this way, on one hand, people who have similar styles can work together for common goal, on the other hand, it reduce the time for adjustment. Different teams compete to be the best one so that the sale volume of “Trustpass” can be promoted. As far as I know, Alibaba company is the world’s largest online business-to-business trading platform for small businesses.
Issue need to be addressed:
Staffs who are responsible for selling “Trustpass” are classified to a certain team depend on the judgments of manager in human resource rather than choose one team by themselves. Sometimes, the judgments of manager are not so accuracy. The standard is too single to divide people. The mistake division of staffs may cause the unnecessary troubles and increase the burden of working.
The video is a introduction to buying in Alibaba.com:
Hi Cissy
ReplyDeleteThank you for shearing your experience in Alibaba company，and I am curious about what you said that " The mistake division of staffs may cause the unnecessary troubles",and I want to know what unnecessary trouble you think there will be in the company.
Thank you!
Hi Milky,
DeleteAs I mentioned in the post, staffs will be divide into different teams depend on their own work styles. Mistakes made in division may cause staffs in one team waste more time to adjusting each other.
