ما هي الصورة في مخيلتك عن مندوب المبيعات؟ وهل ممكن أن تعمل بها؟ Whats your image of the sales agent? Would you work as one?

Ido not because of my age.   

My image of a sales agent is that of a hard working guy because sales is a chellenging job. According to my experience, "marketing is the art of sweetly telling a lie and sales is the art of dying to sell that lie". So selling a lie not not a joke.

I have already worked as one.

اولا المندوب يجب ان يكون يكون علي طبيته يعني محسسش العميل انه بيحاول يقنعه بحاجه بحيث ان العميل ميزهقش ويمل منه بسرعه لان اصعب حاجه انهاردا اك تقنع حد بمنتج لكثره انواع ممثاله له ف السوق لاكن ينبغي علي المندوب يكون مبتسم دائما لان الابتسامه سر من اسرار القوه ويجب علي المندوب ان يخلق صداقه بينه وبين العميل

I have worked as one  for three years and can assure that as a salesman the learning curve is very steep as you get street wise every moment. You can get a feel of your worth instantly. Even when one has gone up the ladder when you meet the customer you get the first hand customer perception. In todays world no one can produce a product or a service without understanding the customer expectation. Yes one has to be patient  and tke refusal in his own stride.

a great career, I would work as one

From my work, I imagine a guy wearing a suite meeting with people, and of course as Im already working as one.

من وجهة نظري ان أي مندوب مبيعات لازم يكون حسن المظهر لبق في الكلام مهارات اتصال عالية وقدرة علي الاقناع عالية جدااااااااااااااا ويكون عارف مميزات المنتج اللي شغال عليه كويس عشان يجاوب علي اي سؤال

A sales agent, in my mind, embodies several key characteristics and qualities:

1. Professionalism: A sales agent should be polished, well-dressed, and articulate. They represent the company and must make a positive impression on potential clients.

2. Communication Skills: Effective communication is crucial. Sales agents need to clearly convey product benefits, listen to customer needs, and negotiate effectively.

3. Persuasion and Conviction: They should have a strong belief in the product or service they are selling and the ability to persuade others of its value.

4. Customer-Centric Approach: Understanding and addressing customer needs and concerns is paramount. Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients is essential.

5. Resilience and Persistence: Sales can be a challenging field with frequent rejections. A successful sales agent is resilient, persistent, and maintains a positive attitude.

6. Adaptability: They must be able to adapt their strategies and approaches based on different customer types and changing market conditions.

7. Product Knowledge: Deep knowledge of the product or service being sold is necessary to answer questions and provide relevant information.

Given the outlined characteristics, working as a sales agent could be appealing under the right conditions. Here are some considerations:

• Interest in the Product: I would need to have a genuine interest in and enthusiasm for the product or service. Selling something I believe in would make the role more fulfilling and effective.
• Company Culture: The culture of the company and the support provided to sales agents would significantly influence my decision. A supportive environment with opportunities for growth would be ideal.
• Career Goals: If the role aligns with my career aspirations and provides opportunities for development and advancement, it would be more attractive.
• Work Environment: Flexibility, work-life balance, and the nature of the sales process (e.g., B2B vs. B2C, field sales vs. inside sales) are important factors.

In summary, while the role of a sales agent can be demanding, it offers the opportunity to build strong client relationships, develop valuable skills, and achieve significant professional growth, making it a potentially rewarding career choice.
