To begin the climb up the investment sales career ladder, often a good place to begin is with a role in telemarketing. Telemarketing often known as 'inside sales' or 'telesales', can be considered as one of the most difficult types of direct sales.However, if you have basic skills in customer service and negotiating and influencing, a role in telesales could be a position that you enjoy. A career in telesales will allow you to get paid by making a difference, through communicating effectively with potential customers and generating sales leads.
You may have knowledge and experience regarding the business environment and have a large amount of financial awareness. A role in telesales will therefore most probably suit your knowledge and experience. However, to begin a career in telemarketing you do not necessarily need large amounts of experience. Personal skills such as, drive, energy, adaptability, determination and confidence are great skill sets, which will give you a major advantage in succeeding in a sales career.
Once you have gained a considerable amount of experience and knowledge with your role in telemarketing, you could then move on to an exciting, higher paid role as an investment sales advisor. Similarly to telesales, here you will be able to use your sales and telephone techniques to achieve a contribution towards your company's sales targets. However, unlike telesales a role in investment sales will give you much more responsibility, as you will be required to monitor your colleagues' progress against the company sales plan and adjust where appropriate and attend regular team meetings.
Alternatively, the next step in your career could take you to a role in property investment sales. This is where the real money can be made, particularly if you have a background in working within the property industry. Here you will be required to monitor trends in the market and provide essential feedback to your sales manager in order to assist in the planning and execution of sales strategies. If you have a high skill set including, communication, organisation, negotiation and confidence skills and experience in handling accurate data, this could be the career for you.
Finding a job in your desired location and industry is no easy task these days. Therefore, it's extremely useful to sign up with a recruitment agency.
