The role

As a sales representative, you find customers, present your company's products and close deals.

You work towards monthly targets and report back to your sales manager.

Skills employers ask for

  • Prospecting and cold calling
  • Negotiation
  • CRM tools
  • Product presentation
  • Field sales
  • Sales reporting in Excel

Who is hiring

Consumer goods manufacturers, distributors, banks, insurers, mobile operators, real estate developers and solar energy companies all hire sales representatives. Most roles are on the ground, visiting customers in a city or region, with some inside sales roles done by phone.

Background and career path

Many sales representatives hold a BTS or degree in sales, marketing or business, but attitude and results often count more than diplomas. They progress to senior sales, sales supervisor and sales manager.
