Petroleumprice.ng has commenced the recruitment of field sales personnel as part of efforts to expand access to its pricing intelligence and digital marketplace services across Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector.
Positioned as a data-driven intelligence and marketplace solution, the company is strengthening its commercial footprint by onboarding sales professionals who will engage directly with filling station owners, depot marketers, suppliers, and logistics operators. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to deepen market penetration while addressing persistent inefficiencies in pricing transparency, supply coordination, and access to verified trading partners.
At its core, Petroleumprice.ng provides real-time depot pricing across major cities including Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Calabar, covering key petroleum products such as PMS (petrol), AGO (diesel), LPG (cooking gas), and ATK (aviation fuel). Beyond pricing, the platform integrates a digital B2B marketplace, enabling traders to connect, transact, and build trusted relationships within a structured ecosystem.
The company also delivers industry news and analytical reports, offering market participants insights into pricing trends, regulatory shifts, and supply dynamics. This combination of pricing intelligence, analytics, and commerce positions the platform as a central hub for decision-making in Nigeria’s downstream oil sector.
Building Market Access Through Intelligence and Sales Expansion
The recruitment of field sales personnel is designed to bridge the information gap that continues to affect the downstream market. With over 30,000 filling station owners, 10,000 depot marketers, 8,000 suppliers, and 25,000 truck operators operating within the ecosystem, the need for accurate, real-time data has become increasingly critical.
Petroleumprice.ng’s offering directly addresses key industry pain points, including price volatility, lack of transparency, supply inconsistencies, and logistics bottlenecks. By providing verified depot prices, historical data trends, and marketplace access, the platform enables users to reduce procurement risks, improve negotiation leverage, and make faster, more informed decisions.
For depot marketers, the platform enhances product visibility and connects them with credible buyers. Filling station owners benefit from up-to-date pricing insights that support competitive retail pricing, while truck owners gain access to improved utilization opportunities through marketplace interactions.
The company’s unique value proposition lies in its ability to combine price intelligence, market analysis, and verified trading access within a single ecosystem, effectively converting market uncertainty into actionable insights.
Performance-Based Sales Structure and Career Growth Path
To support its expansion, Petroleumprice.ng has introduced a performance-driven compensation model for its field sales personnel. The structure includes a base salary of ₦50,000, alongside a 30 percent commission on weekly sales, subject to achieving a minimum monthly sales target of ₦200,000.
Sales representatives who exceed performance benchmarks can significantly increase their earnings. For instance, a sales volume of ₦300,000 attracts ₦90,000 in commission, in addition to the full salary, while also unlocking further incentives tied to consistency and retention.
The model also incorporates renewal-based earnings, allowing sales personnel to earn 10 percent commission on subscription renewals for up to six months. A higher commission rate of 15 percent applies to annual subscription plans, creating a recurring income stream that rewards long-term customer engagement.
A monthly performance target of ₦300,000 has been set as the benchmark for growth, with additional support tools such as marketing kits and onboarding resources provided to enhance sales effectiveness. Personnel who consistently meet this target over a six-month period become eligible for full-time employment, including expanded benefits and career advancement opportunities.
This structured approach aligns sales incentives with customer success, emphasizing relationship-building in a sector where trust and credibility remain critical.
Ultimately, Petroleumprice.ng is not positioning itself as just a pricing platform or news provider, but as the intelligence infrastructure powering Nigeria’s deregulated energy market. Through its recruitment drive and expanding service offerings, the company aims to foster a more transparent, efficient, and competitive downstream ecosystem, where access to accurate information translates directly into commercial advantage.
