You can free bottlenecks
Any obstacle in the sales process not only stifles potential deals it also uses up valuable time and energy that goes nowhere fast – and potentially affects the company’s bottom line.
It may be you have experience and instinct that enables you to recognise where obstacles lie and work out how to overcome them.
Or it could be you’re looking for your very first sales job – so show how your youthful drive and determination can inject fresh enthusiasm to get those sales deals over the line.
You bring experience
In the world of sales, age is no barrier to the top jobs. In fact, life experiences and having worked in different sectors can bring new perspectives to a sales team who may be struggling to think outside of the box.
If, on top of the day job, you’re able to offer mentorship, daily support and game-changing new ideas, you’re already much more than a cog in the wheel . . . you’re driving the machine.
You are a keen strategist
Successful sales strategies need professionals with a sharp, analytical mind and a knack for being able to look much further ahead and see how long-term goals can be best achieved.
Of course, this involves lots of preparation, information gathering and groundwork – and that means being willing to get on the phones and far out into the field to push for potential growth.
In the battle for sales, generals are willing to get on the front line.
