The numbers such as these only tell one part of the story. In  reality, rural India, for its vibrancy, magnanimity &amp; terrain, is  best captured in its dusty tracks and glorious sunny fields. I realized  the truth, when I landed in Bihar &amp; Jharkhand hinterlands, straight  from the air conditioned classrooms of Mumbai, to begin my sales &amp;  marketing career. Rural marketing had been a buzz word and a luring  career option for many since then.<\/p>\n<p>Often people come and ask me  if succeeding in the rural markets easy. No, it isn&#8217;t. A lot of my  peers joined the rural bandwagon and gave up due to several reasons\u2014the  primary one being lack of insights and knowledge of critical factors  that ensure success in rural markets. In the following article, I will  share some wisdom that aspiring graduates can utilise to tame the rural  challenge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bring out the wanderlust in you:<\/strong> The biggest challenge that a young, city-based management graduate will  face is extensive travelling. Now, I am not talking about hopping  flights from one city to another here; this involves travelling in  overloaded auto rickshaws, buses and very often on foot\u2014every day.  Sounds scary? Then forget about rural marketing and choose some other  profession instead\u2014rural marketing is not his is not a one day rural  immersion program, it&#8217;s your daily job! You would be surprised to know  FMCG companies have made a mandate that its rural distribution field  force directly distributes products in all towns having a population of  5000 people or above. This is why, on any given day, a rural salesman  travels anywhere between 60 to 150 kms, meeting different stakeholders,  consumer sets and customers, on-the-not-so-smooth roads. However, the  experience is an enchanting one. Not only you get to meet new people but  also get an opportunity to explore rural India cuisines, tradition and  art. I, for instance, always carry a digital camera to capture India,  which one can only experience while travelling in auto rickshaws, buses  and trains. Sounds game?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be a Keen Observer:<\/strong> For a country as diverse and dynamic as ours, one will pick up a lot of  anecdotes to share. For example, you have to see how men and women in <em>dhotis &amp; ghunghats<\/em> shop for deodorants and face washes in a newly inaugurated super  market. One has to keep in mind that organizations are not sending their  management trainees to sell &#8216;more&#8217;; they send a management graduate to  field to look for consumers who have never been explored. This is what  MNCs and Indian behemoths need, people with a keen eye to discover  Indian consumers which hasn&#8217;t hitherto been addressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Walk that extra mile:<\/strong> How about ditching the comfort of your AC hotel and camping in a rural  hamlet for a week? While, today management graduates are offered mind  boggling salaries and envious perks, it would be one hell of a story to  be narrate in front of the top management and win admirers in the board  room. This will also establish your reputation as someone who&#8217;s  passionate about rural marketing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embrace Challenges:<\/strong> It is very easy to take refuge under the argument like &#8216;I am only a  trainee, I can do only so much Etc.&#8217; One shouldn&#8217;t hesitate in putting  their hand up when faced with adversity. However, one must note that  there are 2 good things about volunteering for a challenge: (a) Nobody  actually believes that you can do much, and thus expectations from you  are generally lower and (B) Even, if you fail, you will learn lessons  during the course, for which superiors will give you a pat on the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be a Disciplinarian: <\/strong>Remember  hard work is the key to success\u2014no matter where you start your journey  from. As Harsha Bhogle once famously said in a lecture series at a B  school, &#8220;One must work their backs off when starting their career.&#8221; To  ensure that your rural stint turns out to be a success, maintain  discipline that your work demands: right from waking up at 4&#8217;o clock in  the morning to leave for far-off markets, to be dressed up sharp before  you hit the market right at 9 AM. This is essential because a highly  educated management graduate in the field is looked upon with respect  and serves as an example to his team and partners. If you display  lethargic and let go attitude while in the field, it would reflect  poorly on you.<\/p>\n<p>If you follow these tips, you would thrive as a  rural marketer. In addition, your rural stint will also show you how we  Indians have gradually migrated from <em>&#8216;Roti, Kapda, Makaan&#8217;<\/em> to <em>&#8216;Bijli, Sadak, Pani&#8217;<\/em> ! The field will teach you many lessons, but only if you are willing to learn.
