Anwar Barayil spent 27 years with multinationals in the Gulf, including Gillette, P&G and Etisalat, then 20 years building his own businesses in the UAE and India. He is based in Chennai.
Anwar Barayil is a Chennai-based sales and goal-setting trainer for colleges and companies in Thrissur. The city runs on jewellery, gold loans, banking, textiles and retail, so his sales team training and selling-skills course are aimed at people who deal with customers every day.
Thrissur is known across Kerala for jewellery and gold. Large jewellery showrooms, gold-loan companies and banks with roots in the city employ branch staff whose daily work is to win a customer's trust and keep it.
Textile and silk shops, home-appliance showrooms and the busy retail around Swaraj Round add a steady stream of floor-sales jobs, and the town has a strong base of family-owned traders.
Engineering, arts and management colleges around Thrissur supply many of these recruits, which makes a short career talk for final-year students a practical way to show where customer-facing work can lead.
Field sales, trade marketing and sales planning for FMCG, telecom and retail teams, built around the company.
Companies here usually gain most from custom sales team training, since branch and showroom staff benefit from practice on greeting, understanding the need, handling objections and closing. Colleges can start with the 90-minute career talk and move to the selling-skills course for students heading into retail or finance.
Finding customers, the sales call, handling objections and closing, drawn from 27 years at Gillette, P&G and Etisalat.
Why sales belongs beside engineering, medicine, law and accountancy, told through his own path from sales clerk to manager. Built for final-year business and management students.
Anwar travels from Chennai to Thrissur by train through Coimbatore and Palakkad, or flies to Kochi and drives. Thrissur sits between Kochi and Kozhikode, so one trip can cover colleges in all three.
Anywhere outside his first-preference southern states, the host covers travel, stay and fee.
