A career in sales can be exciting with the potential of huge profits and flexible working schedules. One of the benefits working in this profession is knowledge that you determine how much you can earn and how much you will work. For someone who is interested in starting in this profession but does not know how exactly to go about finding sales jobs, here are some tips that can help get you started.
Decide what type of product you would like to sell. Also, do you want to work for a startup company or one that is well established? With this in mind, the job hunting will be more focused and save you time and energy. Now that you know which companies you would like to work for you can target their websites on the internet.
Before making contact, learn all you can about the company and their products. Customize your resume so that it will fit their needs. Then, complete any online applications they have and submit a resume. Make phone calls and speak with someone that can help you schedule an interview.
Phone or stop by the office of companies you found interesting. They may not have any vacancies posted but will often have room for another sales person. Be willing to start immediately and for commission only.
Always, before contacting a possible employer, do your homework. When arriving at an interview or meeting with them at an information gathering coffee, know everything there is to know about their company and their competitors. Meeting with them is the same as making a sales call and you are selling yourself.
