About the Sector

The long-term health of any company, and by extension, any economy, depends on sales. Even if a business is failing in other areas, a steady stream of sales will keep it ticking along until those small wrinkles are ironed out. The importance of a strong sales workforce can’t be overestimated, and the sales industry brings together some of the most well-rounded professionals in the whole labour market.

Whether working in Business-to-Business (B2B) or Business-to-Consumer (B2C), salespeople need to be target oriented, highly analytical network builders who can manage dynamic relationships with both suppliers and customers. Indeed, emotional intelligence is among the most important characteristics of a good salesperson, although specialisation in a given product or service is also a huge advantage in the technological age.

Popular Sales Roles

Sales Trainer
Sales trainers teach people how to sell better. As a sales trainer, you’ll need to know how to spot skills gaps in your sales team, how to put together effective training sessions, and how to evaluate results and give feedback. As well as improving the performance of current staff, a sales trainer also makes sure new salespeople hit the ground running and can meet targets from day one.

Sales Assistant
Sales assistants are the visible face of a company. Besides helping customers with every aspect of their purchase experience, sales assistants represent the embodiment of company values from the way they dress down to how they greet customers at the door. Dedication and loyalty are vital characteristics of excellent sales assistants, along with a flawless knowledge of products and strong customer service skills.

Sales Promoter
Sales promoters specialise in showcasing the very best of a company’s goods and services. They promote products by distributing samples, performing pitches, giving demonstrations, and through other creative strategies. As with all sales roles, interpersonal skills are key, but because sales promoters frequently work alone, independence is also among the skills you’ll need in order to perform effectively in this role.

Sales Executive
Negotiation is the name of the game for sales executives, who are charged with presenting and promoting products and services with the aim of maximising profits for the business. Effective sales executives need a keen eye for opportunity and great communicational skills. As a sales executive, you should be ready to travel often, as you’ll be required to attend trade exhibitions, conferences and business lunches in a bid to gain new clients and customers.
