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 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 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.
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.
