Why did you become an inside sales representative?
Asked by Daniel S
I'm looking to become an inside sales representative, more specifically technical sales. If you have or had a position as such, explain to me why you chose that as a career path.

Best Answer:
Talk about enjoying technology and new products, and explain how you have a way of presenting technical solutions in a way which does not intimidate non-technical people. Tell them you like talking to people and working the phone and always finding your next lead. Let them know you do not get flustered or frustrated with rejection. Come prepared with examples of how you have or would take a client with objections and overcome them to make a sale. Good Luck!

Because my aspirations to become a professional, internationally reknowned, grammy winning, platinum record selling banjo player just did not pan out as I had hoped. Seriously - I know some people that started as tech lab workers, got to know the products, then switched over to sales because the money was better.
