It is one of the hardest jobs to make money, if you make any money at all. However, if you are experienced selling and know the field and have good contacts in your area then you can make decent money.
A nice face, nice telephone manners, etiquette's, knowledge, experience and contacts is all you need!

Maybe it wil take a year or even a half year... to tell you frankly, it is hard to be a sales person, because youa have to know the product and services your into, like: you have to know the product very well, how it is use and how it will benefit to your customer or to the user, you should know the other competitive of your product. Because selling is not joking nor lieying in order to sell and gain your customer or user 's trust. So be patience all the time and be calm. Have a positive mind and if not you have to make clear things or you can ask somebody else to help you clear things to gain the positive thinking. I know this is common advice but this is the main reason why sales increase and have profit in that field. just a little advice again.."Before gaining your own profit or money, you should think and help others first!" hope this will help you in your journey of life! GOOD DAY!
