Digital Marketers at Getsales Kenya have no 9-5 working hours

UPPER HILL, Kenya - Sept. 21, 2018 - PRLog -- Getsales Kenya is the first to refine the working model for its employees in Kenya. Most employees do not face the challenge of having to wake up early to beat the traffic jam in the busy Nairobi streets. All they have to do is keep up with the projects they are assigned online.

How does this work? 'I do not believe in physically micromanaging people's time. In this field of digital marketing, what is most important is to have your employees performing at their best.' Says the founder Jimmy Ombom. 'I personally I am at my best in the wee hours of the morning when I handle all my tasks. The rest of the day I jump between meetings in different parts of the city.'


Since the inception of this policy, there has been quite an increase in the employee's performance. 'Employees now have the best time to do their duties effectively. When I hire them, am interested in getting people who are committed to their job and have the passion for digital marketing. The working environment I saw on Facebook influenced me to have the same for them. However, I do not have enough space to make it feel like home for everyone. Besides, everyone has their own needs and I cannot meet all their requirement. So I asked them to feel at peace to do work from home so long as the deadlines are met.' Added Mr. Ombom.

Most employees are however expected to pass by the office at least 3 times a week to deliver reports and comment on assignments. Digital Marketing involves search engine optimization (https://getsales.co.ke/nairobi-seo/) and social media marketing. These services are all online hence, the ease with which the employees are allowed to carry out the tasks.

Even though located in the busy Chancery Building, off Valley Road, Nairobi, there is little activity going on there most of the week. One can be surprised by this and most businesses are about having clients coming to physical locations. It is now true that online businesses are getting more acceptance in Kenya, as more people are beginning to trust in such services. Its online address is at https://getsales.co.ke/.

'We get most of our clients through our popular online channels. You can understand that being an online marketing company, Getsales Kenya would want to be the first to show that you can run a full-based online business if you have effective marketing strategies. We do not want to be the ones preaching water and drinking wine. Just as they say, online work is also work.'

Most employees at Getsales are Generation Y and X who are most conversant with the effects of technology in business. They would want to work in an environment that is a little bit casual and avoid the cooperate way of doing things.
