Take the simpler route instead and check out the sales vacancies on s1jobs. Among the great opportunities in travel, transport and recruitment, to mention just a very few, there are also ways to turn your existing skills into the foundation of a very successful new career.
You aren’t by any chance an engineer, are you? Or perhaps you have a chemistry degree? Did you train originally as an optician or study farm management at college?
Well, if you trained in any of these or dozens of other similar disciplines, you are sitting on a gold mine.
Companies across the country that deal with these kinds of professionals need people with expert knowledge to sell their products.
Look at it this way: would you buy a complex piece of kit from someone who didn’t know the full details of how it worked? Well neither would anyone else, especially if they are a specialist in their field.
So, if you can combine solid knowledge of a technical, professional or medical subject with the ability to do a deal, you’re in a very strong position.
Lots of companies, from drugs and dental equipment manufacturers to the developers of new products for the building industry, chemical engineering suppliers and a whole range of other specialisms, need bright, highly-trained and well-informed sales staff who can reach existing and potential customers.
If you have a degree in something practical or scientific, why not dust off those qualifications and take your career in a brand new direction?
Most sales-oriented companies provide lots of training, so you won’t be thrown in at the deep end. Instead you will get to use your knowledge and gain a lot of new skills. With skills come sales and big rewards . . . and that’s when you’ll know you really are in the right profession.
