Future Management V: Sales
Job duties: The work of a salesperson is nothing new—they gather information about the potential needs of a prospect and work to convince them that their product or service is the best way to meet that need. So where do sales managers fit in this? On top of performing sales work of their own, they typically train and oversee the work of a team of sales professionals, set goals and budgets, determine discount rates and communicate with other business stakeholders. These professionals can either work in business to business sales (for example, selling raw materials to a manufacturer) or business to consumer sales (selling a finished product like a car directly to consumers).
Work environment: This is typically an office job; however, you may have to travel nationally, even internationally, for important sales depending on the kind of company you work for.
