Sales executives are the key point of contact between an organisation and its clients: answering queries, offering advice and introducing new products.

Their work includes:

• organising sales visits
• demonstrating and presenting products
• establishing new business
• maintaining accurate records
• attending trade exhibitions, conferences and meetings
• reviewing sales performance
• negotiating contracts and packages
• aiming to achieve monthly or annual targets.

Promotional prospects are excellent - progression can be into senior sales roles or into related employment areas such as marketing or management.
