Sales Careers – Sales Rep

• The sole focus of a sales rep is to increase revenue and sales for the company and this can be done in a number of ways including travelling to visit potential clients, undertaking telephone campaigns or using conferences and events. The large majority of sales rep jobs require the use of all three.

• It is the job of the sales rep to demonstrate the product or service to clients and advice them how the use of their product or service can increase revenue and/or reduce costs. Like all sales careers, the sales rep will seek out new leads, follow them up and then manage the continuing relationship and this experience stands the sales rep in good stead for success in sales careers.

• Sales rep jobs require the individual to be highly driven and motivated in order to find the most business and lead on to successful sales careers. Good communicative and interpersonal skills are essential as is the ability to work under pressure to deadlines.

• Sales rep jobs also need the sales rep to be able to work in an organised and methodical way as they will often have several sales deals on the go at any one time. Because sales rep jobs require large amounts of travelling, a full driving license is essential.
