You Exist. Let's Confirm That.
5 questions
Full Name
Phone
We'll only call if we're interested. We won't sell you anything.
Age Group
Area in KTM
Trial Period
Would a 2-week stipend-only trial be financially difficult? Honest answer only — no wrong option.
2
Where You've Actually Been
6 questions
We've read applications from people who described selling momos to their college roommates as "field sales experience." The streets will confirm it during the trial anyway.
Years of Field Sales
Primary Sales Type
Convinced an Owner?
Neighborhoods Known
Select only those you'd genuinely be comfortable walking into today. Selecting all 33 will do the opposite of impress us.
Tools / Apps
WhatsApp counts. So does nothing — just be honest.
AI Tools Used?
Not a filter — a curiosity.

The Mirror Section
4 questions
No right answers here. Only honest ones and dishonest ones. We've read enough of these to tell the difference.
The 5PM Test
8 visits today. 7 said no. It's 5PM. What do you actually do?
Rejection Handling
How honestly do you rate your ability to handle repeated rejection in a single day?
Failure Story
Describe a time you failed to convince someone. What specifically did you do wrong? If the story ends with it being their fault — that's not what we're looking for.

Your Unique Edge
What is it that only you have — that no other strong candidate has — for this role? 16 words. Hard limit. If you know your edge, you can say it in 10.

Requirements Cross-checking
4 questions
Neighborhoods Count
Hiring Process
Not Required
Which of these does this role specifically not require?
JD Pause
One thing in the JD that gave you pause — something that made you think twice before applying. Writing "nothing gave me pause" tells us you either didn't read carefully, or you're performing confidence. Both are red flags for this role.

How You Actually Work
4 questions
Typical Tuesday
Walk us through what a typical Tuesday actually looks like for you right now. Nobody's Tuesday looks polished — the chaos is fine.
0 / 100 words
No Check-ins
Your manager gives you a neighborhood, basic intel, and zero daily check-ins for week one. No script. How do you respond?
Wednesday Evening
6 neighborhoods to cover this week. You've covered 2. It's Wednesday evening. No one checking daily. What do you do?
Love vs. Validation
Do you love what you do — or does it make you feel good about yourself?
6
Money, Motivation, What Drives You
3 questions
Let's skip the part where you perform nobility and tell us what's actually true. The honest answer is always more interesting.
Salary Priority
Starting: Rs. 50,000–1,00,000. Top performers grow 2X–5X within 12 months. What honestly matters more right now?
Why This Role
Why this role — not a similar sales job at an established, stable company? What specifically about the model, the scale, the founding nature made you open this form instead of applying somewhere safer?
0 / 100 words
Job A vs Job B
Job A: Rs. 80,000/month, stable, established. Job B: Rs. 50,000/month, early company, small ownership stake, high growth. One week to decide.

Who You Actually Are
3 questions
Sales is not a skill. It's a personality operating through a skill. The technique can be taught. The person underneath it cannot be changed.
Regret Story
Have you ever regretted selling something to someone who ended up worse off? 'No, never' is almost certainly not true for anyone who's done real sales for more than a year. What happened, and how did it change the way you sell?
Empathy in Practice
How does that experience shape the way you approach a new client today? Not theory — what concretely changed in your actual behavior?
0 / 100 words
3-Year Vision
Where do you see yourself in 3 years — not in this company specifically, but in your life? Not the LinkedIn answer. The 11PM answer.

Can You Actually Charm a Room?
5 questions · Final block
If a 55-year-old hardware shop owner doesn't relax within 45 seconds of meeting you — none of the rest matters. This section either is there or it isn't.
Cold Entry — Balaju
You walk into a hardware shop in Balaju. Owner is busy, slightly suspicious, 'No Sales Visits' sign on the counter. 30 seconds. Write exactly what you say and do — word for word. The ones who start with "Hi sir, my name is..." will probably struggle.
0 / 100 words
Flat Joke Response
Your opening line just landed completely flat. The owner didn't laugh. Didn't smile. Just stared at you. What do you do next?
Make Us Laugh
Make us laugh. Right now. In under 100 words. A joke, a line, an observation, a short story — anything. It has to be genuinely funny. We will know the difference. So will every shop owner on day one.
0 / 100 words
Owner Objection
A shop owner says: "Hamilai dherai paisa/profit chaidaina — hamro bebasaya thikkai kamairakoxa." ("We don't need to earn enough — our business is earning just fine.") Write exactly what you say next — in Nepali, Nepali-English mix, whatever feels real.

Trust Formula
What actually makes a stranger trust you within the first minute? Not what you've read. What have you personally seen work — on you, or done by you? No word limit. Only question on this form without one.
By submitting, you confirm this application is your own — written from your own experience. We specifically asked you not to use AI for the written answers. That instruction was the first real test.
🦁

You finished.

Statistically, a significant number of people who opened this form didn't make it here.

We'll review your application carefully — not quickly, carefully. The written answers especially. Every single one.

If you're the right fit, you'll hear from us within 5 working days.

Either way — respect for showing up fully to this. That already says something.
