Good language and Soft Skills

- If you have worked in any service industry where you have managed customers it’s a plus point.
Long Working Hours and Average Payment
Many delivery executives have to work more than 8 hrs to complete their target, make sure you deliver as soon as possible and ask customers to rate for the deliveries so you get good feedback.
Normally these companies calculate 3 delivers/hr so if you work 8–10 hrs you are expected to deliver 24 to 30 deliveries, but it is not that easy as at peak time orders are more and in some of the off-peak times orders are less.
Minimum Earnings
Source – business insider and economic times
Every Order you can expect to earn min Rs 35–40. So if you make 15–20 deliveries you can make about 3000–4000, deduct Rs 1000 for petrol and maintenance so you make around 2000–3000 on an average per week with one day off.
Average Earnings/Delivery – Rs 35/-
Working Days a Week – 6 days ( 1day off)
Average Order Deliveries /day – 15–20 orders/day
Daily Earnings – 15 Orders x Rs 35/Order = Rs 525/-
Weekly Earnings – Daily earnings x 6 days a week = Rs 525 x 6 = Rs 3150/-
Monthly Earnings – Weekly Earnings x 4 weeks = Rs 3150 x 4 = Rs 12,600/-
Note – Above estimates is for minimum earnings. You can get an incentive and bonus on more orders and timely deliveries.
Earning Rs 10–12k net is easy but earning above that is a bit difficult you can deliver 20+ orders a day then the earnings are in the range of 16–20k/month, you will have to do overtime and deliver more orders also if you reject any order your earnings will decrease.
