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!

Very few Foley's employees are commissioned sales associates.  Those that sell cosmetics/fragrances earn 3% of their total sales as commission, plus a base salary that is paid partially by Foley's and partially by the line that they represent.  Sales associates in shoes also earn commission plus a base pay.   Essentially, the associates have a sales goal to achieve each week, and once they achieve that sales goal, they earn 9% commission on sales.  The catch is, if they don't achieve their sales goal, the shortfall is added to the follow week's goal, which they must achieve before bonusing.\n\nDepending on what part of the country you live in, you can expect to earn a starting pay of $6.50-$8.00/hour at Foley's, based on your previous sales experience.  Certain associates, called "pacers", earn up to $12-$13/hr. in high sales volume departments.  They are reviewed monthly on their productivity and can have thier pay decreased if they don't acheive monthly goals.  Additionally, certain departments have "speacialist" positions that earn a higher rate of pay, part of which is supplemented by the vendor that the specialist represents (i.e. Liz Claiborne, Hilifiger, Lauren, etc.)\n\nWith Foley's transitioning to Macy's in the next few months, this is all subject to change.  Historically, Federated DS (new parent company of Foley's soon-to-be Macy's) pays better than MayCo (old parent of Foley's) did.

This suggests wholesale:\na) Honor any returns to your company due to your error w/o question and w/ a quick refund.\nb) You are only as good as your sales' staff - be it in-house or on the road. Reward them well for jobs done well.c\nc) Offer incentives to stores who handle your wares well.\nd) Help your customers - ask what they need, assist them in tight inventory control - both coming and going.\ne) As head honcho - call 3 times a year to check on everythng.\nQuality counts - offer it.

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!!!!

It is all about the bottom line.\nThe store that does the best sales gets incentives from corporate. It only affects the bonuses that the top managers get.\nBesides that they are looking to get promoted as well.

That depends on the company you are working for, and how they define it.\nIn general a sales manager is there to manage the sale force.  That is to set goals, motivate, track the progress, mentor.  The sales manager should also monitor customer satisfaction, penetration.   To also provide market feedback to the company, alignment of sales to company goals.

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
