Get to know the profession of a sales representative.

A sales visitor (Sales Representative) is a professional who sells the product or service that the company produces or offers. In this job, the individual must have the necessary information about the product and its functions, but there is no need to know the technical details. Most sales representatives directly communicate with customers, introduce the product or service, and after gaining the customer's interest, sell their product and receive a commission percentage.

Sales specialists can be divided into two categories: depending on their type of sales, Sales Assistance from company to customer (B2C), meaning direct sales to the end consumer, and the other is a sales visitor from company to company (B2B), meaning large-scale sales to other businesses. A sales visitor works for B2B companies, meaning these professionals sell products and services from one company or organization; while in the other type, the customer is encouraged to immediately and directly purchase the product or service from the seller.

Some responsibilities of a sales visitor:

  • Selling the company's products and services to increase profit.
