So, what will I actually be doing?
Whatever your product, it’s your job is to sell as many of your company’s goods as possible as well as developing and maintaining a good relationship with clients.
The pressure will be on to meet your targets, so expect busy days with a full to-do list. As a sales executive, you will need to:
Visit potential customers for new business
Provide customers with quotations
Negotiate the terms of an agreement and close sales
Gather market and customer information and provide feedback on buying trends
Represent your organisation at trade exhibitions, events and demonstrations
Identify new markets and business opportunities
Record sales and send copies to the sales office
Review your own sales performance
