Inventory Turnover is a term to describe the frequency that the total inventory of a business is sold out and replenished during an accounting cycle.  In other words, if total inventory is $100,000 (average) and total sales during a month represented inventory cost of $300,000, then the inventory turnover for that month was 3 times.

Now we are talking.  I was a telemarketing manager for a timeshare company.  This is by far one of the hardest jobs I can think of because all people want is for this profession to go away!  When I was training my sales reps I went be an easy format. F.R.E.S.H\nF=Friends-make friends with the person and find somthing you both have in common.\nR=Rebuttals-NEVER take no for an answer.  The average customer says no 4 times before they buy.\nE=Energy-If you dont have enthusiasm about selling, how do you expect them to be enthusiastic about buying.\nS=Script=Stick to the script.  It was designed to help you get the deal.\nH=Help-Ask for help if you need it.\nYou would be shocked at how succesfull some of these telemarking offices are.  But even though everyone hates them please try to at least be friendly, they are only doing there job.  ITS NOT AN EASY ONE!!!!

I think you answered your own question.\n\nBesides, at orientation weren't we told to make cool stuff, then worry about how to make money? Perhaps this is a cool thing that simply hasn't had a money-making idea created from it yet. However, advertisement is, I think, the most probable means.

On Target Earnings - not always something to be wary of as most people now put a basic +OTE (i.e guaranteed salary then the OTE amount) so that you know your minimum.  This is due to loads of changes to legislation where salary should not be hidden.  Most "sales" jobs including recruitment advisor get paid by basic that is increased by OTE, just remember it can be a bit cut-throat as you are always trying to get a certain number of sales so you need to enjoy winning and competition (oh and ever changing targets if you perform well they may try to stretch the number of sales so it gets harder).  The best bet, don't be put off but ask lots of questions at interview (or before if there is an option to talk to a manager or recruitment contact)!  Good luck!

Depending on what kind of work you do, Most co-workers are.  Sales is the worst if you are fighting for commision sales.  I am in Sales and I know everyone here is a backstabber, none of us can be trusted to the other one.

Is it possible to change jobs and move to a competitor?  Or, another sales job in a different industry?  Being able to sell is an amazing talent to have and very transferable.  \n\nIf you're the best sales person in the region, that's a fact and it doesn't matter what your boss says.  Sometimes you just have a crappy boss who is never pleased with what you do.  The problem is the boss and it's probably because they feel insecure.  Try to find compassion for the other person (i.e., maybe he's scared of losing his job, maybe he was picked on in school and you remind him of someone, etc.).  \n\nAlso, instead of worrying what they think, focus on what you know about yourself.  In your case, you know you're the top sales person.  Own it.  Be proud of it.  Broadcast it.\n\nSometimes, managing perceptions is all it takes.  Put some effort into communicating all the hard work you do.  If you don't get sales, talk about all the calls you made and then just shrug it off.  \n\nYou could also try speaking with your boss about this issue.  However, the key is to not do it when you're pissed off.  The other thing is to try to really listen to what they're saying even if it comes out sounding like crap.  Some people lack communication skills.  Really try to focus on a solution and a common goal.  \n\nSometimes being really honest helps too.  Rather than act like you don't care what he thinks, tell him you value his opinion and you feel very demoralized when he does x and that you were wondering if your perception of the situation was a bit off.  Don't blame.  Always chalk it up to differences in how you communicate.

Environment - Store.\n\nPositive:  Two people have "conflicting" ideas about how to merchandise a new line of products.  Have each work on a display to show the Mgr. his/her idea.  The positive result is two productive employees who have pride in their work *and* a better merchandised store as two displays have been done.\n\nNegative:  Same situation as above, but the Mgr. consistently gives the display project to one of the two employees.  The negative result is an atmosphere of favoritism, a lack of trust from the management and eventually the "unchosen" employee will become disgruntled and stop trying at all...exactly the opposite from the above at-work attitude.\n\nGood Luck!

Sales distribution is directly related into how you get into the stores (point of sales)... \nSales management is direclty related into how manage the sales operations (sales force material, promotion, training, location, incentive, benefit program, etc)

Sales Management is overseeing a department or sale force responsible for a territory or customer segment to drive business to the company.  It is providing resources to your sales force, recruiting sales people to work for you and your company and helping to close deals.  In addition, you are responsible for a quota and exceeding quota ( that is the revenue  amount expected by the company from your territory/team, etc.)  You need to train and manage your sales force, understand what motivates each member of your team and keep them all producing month after month of revenue!  Good Luck

incentives to sell..they won't push sales if there is no incentive.. it becomes just a  job that pays?...they gain nothing more than a paycheck w/ no incentive, commissions or bonus...

Well, I just finished my course in principles of business. According to my book there are really two types of selling. Retail and industrial. Retail is stated as selling a consumer a product for the buyer's personal or household use. Industrial is defined as selling products to other businesses for the purpose of manufacturing other products for resale. So yours seems to be a retail, and in more detail it is a service that you are offering, not a good. Sorry i couldnt be more detailed.

It depends on the company's definition of Sales Manager. Some may manage people, others manage sales, others still may manage both sales and people.

A "Sales Force" is the division of a business that is responsible for selling products or services - or - The group of employees involved in the selling process.

Your best bet is anything related to sales.  Sales is the workhorse of business.  Salespeople are also compensated by results, and that can result in personal satisfaction.  Try to get a job that has a base salary plus commission, though, if you are just starting out.  And look for opportunities with lots of training and support.  Then, continue to seek out training through seminars, books, audiotapes, etc.\n\nI don't think anyone ever said, "when I grow up I want to be a salesman," but you know, the astronaut corps is harder to break into, and a business degree won't help you in outerspace.  The education you gained at business school will help make you a better sales person.

When I graduated from college in 1996 I was told by my professors that I would make a great salesperson. I didn't want to sell because I kept thinking of the door to door sales commercials that were on Television when I was a little girl. I thought they never made money. \n\nSales is another way of really being your own boss. It is really up to you to decide how much work you will put into it. \n\nMy first year in sales annually I made $67,200. I don't know if that was the kind of money that you were looking for but I was coming from making $6 an hr. $200 per week so I thought it was a big deal.
