Fancy being an international sales executive for a food brand? Or a sales analyst with a web and marketing solutions company that has offices in Scotland and Holland?
Well, these are just two of the high-flying sales positions on s1jobs.
Land a role like these and you could accumulate enough air miles to take you to Mars.
But before you head off, check out these travel hacks from frequent flyers – tricks that will get you to your big sales meeting in tip top condition.
- Park smart
Fed up wandering in the airport car park trying to remember where you left your wheels? Take a photo of the location marker before you fly and never be left out in the cold again.
- Travel light
While amateur travellers are still at the carousel, frequent flyers have nipped to the front of the taxi queue and are on their way to their hotel. Hand luggage is all you need. Roll don’t fold is the golden rule of packing.
- Lock and load
Make up a stack of security-issue Zip-lock bags in advance, filled with sample size toiletries and just throw one into your bag while you pack.
- Be a softie
Bolly from the trolley? No thanks. You need to be sharp to clinch deals and the combination of flying and alcohol will dehydrate you faster than a vampire. Soft drinks only.
- Mix and match
Loyalty has few benefits. By switching airlines for outward and inbound flights you could pay less and secure better flight times.
- Watch your back
Competitors lurk everywhere so monitor your phone chat in the departure lounge. Angle your laptop screen so no-one else can read your trade secrets.
- Bring backup
With your documents, itinerary and work files saved to your smart phone, you don’t need anything else. Right? Wrong! Not if you pick up someone else’s identical phone as it comes out of the X-ray machine. Back up to your tablet.
- Go veggie
Or kosher, or gluten free, or any other restricted diet. That way you’ll get fed first while the passengers around you are still chewing on their fingernails or checking under their seats for dropped pretzels.
- Last on, first off
When that email pings letting you know on-line check-in has opened, be ready to respond: aisle seats near to the exits always go first.
- Beat the bugs
Wash your hands frequently to kill off germs and never travel without a first aid kit of pain killers and cold remedies. A red, runny nose isn’t a good look for a first meeting.
