Guys just to clarify ,I am not a sales expert infact i dont like having a career in sales that much .
This post is for you if:
- You are inspiring to get a career in sales .
- You dont know where to go and hesitent to get in sales direction.
- You got a sales career option in hand and dont know to take it or not .
- Stuck with sales job and getting discouraged and depressed because of it .
Now as i said earlier i am no expert in this department ,this is my take on how to go about such a robust career option ,rest is upto you to concider it or not .
Lets ask overselves these questions :
- who is the highest earner in most of the organizations?
- who gets a lot of attention in any organization?
- who has a very fast growing path?
- who decides the fate of any organizations growth?
- who will have a direct opportunity to know the potential of market ?
- who will learn what a customer wants and how his/her consumer behaviour is?
- who will develop communication skills faster and become a tough person to crack ?
- and most off all who is the face of any organization?
Even after knowing all these advantages ,most of the MBAs don't like to work as a sales guy . This is because of two rediculous reasons that I ever hear .
1st reason is because of the lack of awareness . I agree that sales job is tough but which job is not . Now a days every job has its own challenges and you would be pushed a little bit further by organisations after all you are the pillers they build on right ,but as a guy who worked in a sales job for almost a year with out liking it . It's not that tough guys ,all is just more exaggerated.
2nd reason is prity rediculous, they are the words spoken by a lay man who don't even know what a sales executive after MBA does .Want more references please read the above questions again and you will understand that a sales guy is a KHAN of corporate world.
If your reason is like I can't talk to people , I can't work in team , I am prity bad meeting dead lines , I want to expanded my skill set further etc .. then your hatered towards the job is justified .But if your at initial stages of your career and not opting for sales for any of the two about reasons.
Then please reconsider your decision and go for it . It's an advice as a friend and take it if you like it .
A good advice should always make a great impact ...
- They think working in a sales job is very difficult to survive.
- Most of them feel it's not COOL to work in a sales job after their MBA.
