Sales Executive - The Role

You will go in as a Graduate Account Manager, working the full sales cycle. This is really rare for companies to offer but allows for greater exposure and also potential earnings from day one.

Sales is a job that not everyone is aware of and which will be different every day, but here is a rough idea of what a Graduate Sales Executive will be required to do.

• Business Development- Approaching and winning new clients to work with.
• Account Management- Working with businesses over time, developing a relationship.
• Phone work - The most efficient way of doing business is over the phone and as a sales person this will become your most valuable tool.
• Meetings - Meeting with clients face to face to try and get them to buy your products.
• Market Analysis - It's really important to know what's happing in your market at any given time, so market analysis and research are vital.

There are loads more aspects to a sales role, but not to worry as the client offers industry leading training, setting you up to be the best Graduate Sales Executive out there.

What Experience do you need for the Sales Executive Role?

The short answer is it depends. There's no set profile that the company look for, it's much more about personality that your background, but here are some things that always help???

• Resilience - Sales is a frustrating job if you're not resilient. Being able to deal with frustrations and knockbacks is a must.
• Work Ethic - The harder you work, the better you do. Sales is a great job for a graduate to get in to because you're in control of your earnings, but that means you've got to put the effort in.
• Charisma - Sales people tend to be charismatic and confident, you are calling strangers most of the time after all, you need to make them like you!
• Competitive Edge - You will be working in an environment where you can see how well you're doing in comparison to others, so target driven and competitive people tend to fare better.
• Emotional Intelligence - You will have to build relationships with a massive range of people so emotional intelligence is hugely important.
• Money Motivation - Arguably one of the most important things for someone to possess going in to sales. The harder you work in sales, the more money you make. It's a job where you can be making 6 figures within 3-4 years, so it's really key that you have a genuine money drive.
