Sales Executive

Often based in busy call or business centres, you'll work as part of a sales team, so it's not for those that like to work alone. Very much a typical desk job, you'll be tied to the telephone and sitting at your workstation for long periods of time so it’s not a career for anyone who fears feeling office bound.

Want a career in sales? Then this is the place to start. Telesales executive roles are where many sales professionals learn the ropes, and those who have worked and been successful in these positions are often highly sort after. From telesales you can move on up to become a sales executive, manager or director.

Shy, retiring types need not apply! You need to have plenty of confidence to be a successful telephone sales executive as a charming and persuasive personality will help you sell.

Other qualities that will help you up this career ladder are:

• Excellent communication and listening skills
• A polite and friendly manner (being rude never gets you anywhere)
• Lots of initiative
• A positive attitude
• The ability to think on your feet

Experienced applicants only.
