Working in a sales job means you’ll either be on the front line developing new business for your company, or working on existing clients to up sell them your products or services. Both roles are target driven, with a large part of your salary made up of commission.
It’s a job that’ll require lots of resilience and detailed knowledge of the product or service you’re selling. It needs sensitivity to people’s motivations and characters. Working out what makes them tick is key to getting under their skin and sealing the sale.
To get into sales, contact a sales recruitment agency. No specific qualifications or experience is needed, although it’s a tough field where if you don’t perform, don’t expect to stay in the job for long.
