What is a sales job?

Put simply, a sales job is a role where you sell your company’s products or services.

You will also need to be confident in talking and presenting, especially round new people, be competent in math and finance and have strong admin skills to keep track of your sales and commission.

Entry level jobs pay from $38,000 and the average salary for a sales consultant is $66,210.

What skills will I need in a sales role?

Whatever it is that you are selling, being successful at sales is all about making connections, building trust and understanding your customer’s needs.

Basically, the better you are, the more you get paid, and it’s relatively easy to move industries for higher compensation.

Sales associates can make over $120,000 and sales and business development specialists who specialist in finding new ‘pipelines’ of customers, can command up to $250,000.

Given the nature of the industry and the difference in price of the products you will be selling, the salary range is huge too.
