Create Your Role @ Wellcure, India’s Fastest Growing Natural Health Platform 

(For all those who are applying for open roles at Wellcure or sending their CVs to us)

The whole Covid 19 situation has resulted in jobs loss for many people. In these challenging times, you can either keep worrying about the job or be strong and take full ownership of getting hired on your own. 

Through this article I wish to explain the latter.

How can you create a job for yourself?

If you are committed to work hard and ready to take full accountability of the results, you can create a role for yourself at any organisation. This concept is called ‘Becoming an Intrapreneur’ in a Company that you wish to work for.

Let me start with the story of a person who got hired as a CEO, without being approached by the company. This information came from credible sources:

Sometime in 2015 Uber was looking for a country CEO for India. Its Co-founder Travis Kalanick had just started the search. Within a few weeks Amit Jain got the role to lead Uber India operations. How did that happen? 

Amit had submitted a complete plan to Travis on his own, detailing how he would grow & manage Uber operations in India and South Asia in the next 5 years, if chosen for the role. Travis was super impressed with the self-initiated action taken by Amit. It ticked almost every requirement to test Amit’s commitment. The result was obvious, Amit got the role!

Now, this is not something many people usually do. They depend on others to get jobs and salary increments. 

How can you do the same?

Every business or profession looks for growth. If you contribute to the growth, you can create a requirement for yourself, and hence the new role:

  • Do an in-depth analysis of value creation opportunities in a company

  • See how you can contribute in creating or managing that value 

  • Basis this, create a detailed plan of action and approach the company

  • A business leader appreciates the thought and effort you put into growing that business without even being hired

  • It reflects that you are keen to take the responsibility and ownership of the result

  • There is no better attribute in a team member 

  • Any business leader would be happy to give you the opportunity

This work is the easiest for Sales and Marketing people who can make a plan for generating additional revenue for the business from their smart work and new ideas. However, other verticals can also do the same with operations growth, cost savings or indirect revenue growth.

Think out of the box

Due to the COVID situation many new opportunities are arising in various sectors. Companies are either changing their business strategy (moving offline to online) or some industries, such as Healthcare are getting more customers. Identify such sectors or organisations and think about creating value for them through your skill sets.

The  Wellcure Example 

We, being, an early stage company, are approached by many people for different roles. As we have a set growth-plan, the number of positions planned are limited. However, anyone who can think of value creation opportunities or sales growth opportunities, can do some research about us, send us their questions and make a plan that they would like to execute. Include a logical compensation for yourself, derived out of the plan. 

Some Examples of Value Creation or Growth Opportunities with Wellcure: 

  1. Subscriber/Revenue Growth Through Marketing/Sales - Make a plan around how many local and international subscribers you can add to Wellcure over a year. Enlist the steps for execution. Decide the target revenue earned, take 20% of it as your salary and let the rest be earned by the Company.

  2. Tech Roles - Make a plan of the features that you will want to build in Wellcure for it to grow fast in terms of subscribers and revenue. Do the same calculations as above and submit your profile for hiring.

  3. Video and Written Content - Make a list of topics on which you would like to write content or make video content which will lead to growth in subscribers and hence revenue.

  4. Run Health Programs - If you are a Natural Health & Wellness professional, create a plan for running a Health Program on Wellcure. You will get benefited by the large subscriber base, marketing and operations management by the Wellcure team. Wellcure will earn a commission out of the complete program fee.

  5. Support Functions (Finance, HR, Operations etc.) - Calculate the amount of work required in the company. Suggest how you can save the costs and earn your salary out of it. For example, if you know that the company is planning to hire 20 to 30 people in the next 1 year, then submit the cost a consultant will charge or the time cost if senior people devote time on hiring instead of doing business. State how much you will be able to save for the company if given the responsibility.

These examples can be applied to any company that you wish to work for. 

However, founders of startups will be super keen to have such self initiated and accountable team members as they have a complete white field to create value in their ventures. It will be easier for you to get hired if you commit to create value for them. Anyone who just bothers about getting paid for the efforts without any accountability to results, is only suitable to well funded & large companies.

This might sound difficult but it is better than blaming the world situation and waiting for some opportunity to arrive at your doorstep.

Lead your own career path and life the way you want.

Hope this help a few! :)
