Its really mind numbing and there are loads of processes that are duplicated. Totally has no sense of achievement at all. Though the pay is decent for the job. But i cannot foresee how im contributing to the organisation in this manner. I'm basically responsible for loads of reports that no ones bothers to look at. And yes. Doing that can take a entire month.

Sounds like what i doing now but I am not doing sales; the people i am chasing is in the same organisation/location. They have higher rank than me, and complained to my boss/gossip when i chase them too hard or ask them "too many" questions. Sometimes they don't bother explaining properly, and i myself have to cook the stories for them. Then kenna whack by boss for giving the info so late.
Its not an easy role, especially if you are flagging people out and people may not be that cooperative and try to hide stuff.
I am not sure whats your background, but think of skills transferability, if you foresee if this role would be automated/outsourced in the future.
