absolutely, but  the work is hard and stressful.  i guess it all depends on what type of sales/marketing your managing though.

try speaking on quality of recritment because insurance business is aal about the quality of the advisors that you have in your team.............. if you select and evelop a good quality of advisors with a long list of prospects there are definitely very good chances that that particular Sales Manager will bring very good business......... so i suggest prepare on the quality of recruitment

You will probably get lots of different answers, but my opinion on what makes a good sales person is this:\n\n1) product knowledge - yours and your competitors!  You have to know how to position your product and respond to any objections to be able to effectively offer your product as a solution to meet the buyers need.\n\n2) develop a relationship built upon trust, honesty, integrity - your competitor may do the "hard sell" but developing an honest relationship will lead to word of mouth referrals and customers for life!  Get to know the individual, their office staff (gate keepers), their business, their competition, their market space so that you can position your product to completely meet their needs.\n\n3) once you have developed a relationship and you know your product is the right solution, ask for the business.  Customers expect it and if you have responded to any objections, developed an honest relationship, then you should be in a nice position to close the deal.\n\n4) for customer that provide on-going sales - thank them for the business.  Let me know how important they are and that you value them as a customer.  Ask them to recommend your product to colleagues.\n\nGood luck!

what kind of work do you do and how much were the offers?  If it is marketing--job hoping is not that frown upon.  It is creative!

being a salesperson to me is much more challenging and fun.  I am self employed, I have to go find my clients, they don't just walk in the door.  I get to be out in the world and not behind a desk all day.  I get to meet lots of new people everyday.

advertise. however the most successful people in sales businesses go out and meet people. they join clubs, organizations and generally make contacts that lead to business and referrals.

Yes and its a fairly narrow segment of the business world.  Retail management also tends to be low paying, includes man non management duties at times and can be hard to translate into other jobs in the business field due to the low regard it has among other management disciplines.  I'd suggest a general business degree instead.  You can still do retail management if you like, but have more options and earning potential.

I've been trying to make it as a book seller for over a year, I gave up this week.(my last sales finish in 2 hours with no bids so far, sob sob.) A friend of mine gave up her job and now sells full time, hair accessories, make-up and junk jewellery.\n\nThe most money I 've made is with Depression glass (but only the American market seem to go for that not here in the UK), John Lennon items and Michael Hutchence stuff.\n\nDVDs are good, I sold one I found in the street for £12, and larger women's clothes can rocket in price.

You are either a salesman or you are not.\nYou do not seem like one.\nI am and love sales. I always have.\nYou cannot inspire enthusiasm unless you are enthusiastic first.\nPassion is not a chore for those of us who are good at sales. It is a pleasure.

Any sales position has pretty high turnover.  Go on monster.com or any other job service, Craigslist, or just open the newspaper.  There are plenty of people advertising.  Stick to those with ads, because there are plenty of them, and also because these firms tend to recruit fresh people to train.  You're not going to make much at first. Also, it's helpful to have decent knowledge of the real estate and loan markets, and since you'll be working with a lot of realtors anyway, get to know a few. Realtors and loan officers work together very closely and share a lot of marketing efforts
