A Few Tips In Finding Sales Jobs

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 start up 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.

There are also several reputable online job search sites that specialize in matching employers with candidates. Keep a current resume posted on each site and apply for all openings you find interesting. These sites send a notice to the applicant when new positions are listed that may be a match, so be sure to check your e-mail for updates.

Many companies now utilize social networking sites. If possible join the site to show your interest in their company. If it is not possible to join, at least check it on a regular basis for any sales openings they may list. Contact them with the information available on their page and let them know you are interested in their company. Also, suggest a niche you can fill and start selling yourself to them that way.

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.

Get a referral to introduce you or make a phone call for you. Then follow up with a letter of introduction and make your own phone call. Persistence is a key trait for a salesperson. Show that you have it and will work just as hard to sell for them as you are working to get the job. Another technique that will show off your ability to sell is to walk into a company's office with resume and letters of recommendation in hand. Finding sales jobs will take persistence and an ability to deal with rejection which are qualities of a successful person.
