⚠️ Reality Check
1. Field-Heavy Role
Store visits daily
Standing, moving, coordinating
👉 Physically active job
2. Target Pressure
Monthly/quarterly sales targets
Retail push required
3. Repetitive Work
Same stores
Same products
Same conversations
👉 Can feel routine quickly
4. Salary (Not Mentioned Clearly)
Typically in this segment:
₹2.5–4.5 LPA + incentives
👉 Not high-growth financially
