About Sales

Working in sales means that you help people find exactly what it is that they’re looking for. This goes beyond just trying to make people buy things, although of course sales performance is important. The true sales process involves finding out what a customer truly wants and needs, face to face or online, getting new customers to come back and get returning customers to go to the next level.

Reasons to Work in Sales

1. Help make people’s lives easier by making the right sales

Sales management and sales professionals often get a bad rep. But a truly experienced or skilled salesperson knows that a happy customer is a customer who benefits from sales techniques by ensuring that the customer goes home with exactly what they’re looking for.

2. Create a lifelong career

Sales training will give you a formal qualification that shows sales managers that you’re serious about a career in the area. While starting as a retail worker can, of course, lead to a career as a store manager or regional manager, there are a number of other areas where sales skills are valued. Consider pharmaceutical or healthcare machines, account management, in wineries and other hospitality jobs, even in PR and marketing! Sales coaching is valued in more than one area and can lead to a life long, fulfilling career.

How to Get Started in Sales

If you’re already working in sales and interested in making it your career, going into a sales training course is the best way to make your job into your career. There is a range of sales training courses, and the course covers a range of tools, including role plays, practice cold calling, teach you selling skills and one on one sales coaching. These courses are more intensive than the in house training you may receive when working in retail, and the skills training you get will set you up for a lifelong career.
