Sales Jobs

Essentially, corporate sales involves business-to-business selling, where sales are directed at board level of a company rather than towards an individual consumer. As a corporate sales person you will be expected to maintain and develop relationships with existing clients and to find new business selling your company's products/services. You will therefore spend the vast majority of each day speaking to clients, cold calling and negotiating.

You will almost certainly have to reach performance related targets and will be rewarded for this with commission or profit related pay, commonly referred to as Performance Related Pay (PRP). This puts the pressure on but the rewards are superb, with the majority of candidates entering into jobs with On Target Earnings of �30-35k.

And there is plenty of opportunity for rapid progression. The sales department is generally perceived as the engine of a company because it drives the company forward, so people are rewarded for producing revenue. Due to the high profile of the profession, there are many opportunities to move into management and other senior positions.

So what qualities do you need to be a good sales person? Well, because you will be required to conduct face-face meetings, you need to be extremely confident in your own abilities and able to build rapport with colleagues and clients quickly and effectively. Excellent interpersonal skills are therefore a must, as are persuasive verbal skills and resilience - you need to be able to pick yourself up after that big deal has fallen through.

A good telephone manner, persistence, energy, enthusiasm and a professional appearance and manner will also stand you in good stead and it is essential that you are articulate and show initiative and motivation.

If you can demonstrate these skills, companies are not generally fussy about what subject degree you achieved - they just want to know you have a certain level of education.

The job can be tough - you are likely to work in a high-pressured environment and may work long hours but on the plus side, apart from the obvious financial rewards, you could travel extensively and meet a huge number of people.

Is this the career for you?
