atg28 asked:


For many sales jobs, there is always a requirement to document 2 years of sales experience or sales growth.

How does someone create this portfolio to show this performance?

I currently perform lower level sales tasks, but I would like to create a segway to show how my prospects turned into customers turned into repeat customers. What’s the best way to create a consise report or chart to show this?

Obviously, I can’t pull out multiple sales slips during the interview. The field is in biological sciences (not pharmaceutical).

Thanks.

Jon

What is the best sales position to do from home?

Megan S asked:


What are some high ticket items that people sell from their home using phone sales. I am retired and looking to fill some of my time selling some big ticket items by phone as I spent a lifetime doing phone sales. I don’t want to be involved in any product that requires lengthy follow up (such as real estate) but have no trouble calling businesses or residential numbers. I prefer something where commission payout is quick relative to the call time. Anyone have any ideas?

(Please, no nutritional product, no business opportunity, and certainly no MLM nonsense).

Thanks.

ByGod’sGraceWe’reSaved asked:


I am trying to get into pharmaceutical sales and want to know the best way to do this. I have no direct experience in pharmaceutical sales however I do have 3 years of outside sales experience plus 15+ years of direct customer service. I have a BS in Social Science with a minor in Gerontology. I have medical terminology and had started out working on my nursing degree before changing majors. I have worked as an executive administrative assistant, accounting clerk and HR assistant up until the last three years and want a new career path. And before it is suggested that I have to be somewhat attractive, I modeled in high school and college. So with all of this said…Any suggestions or leads? Any and all help is greatly appreicated! Thanks in advance!
