Basic Fun!’s Post

My first job was in retail sales. I started working when I was in 7th standard. I used to go shop as we had a family business. From there I started my journey in the retail sales industry. I have done that for more than 7 years. Here's what I learned in retail sales and still apply it today: - Be authentic - Help your customers - Listen to their queries - Have your products ready - Guide them if they are skeptical - Provide excellent customer service - Sell them of what they want - Don't compete with price - Compete with value - Stay consistent - Build trust And most importantly, be honest in your dealings. P.S. What was your first job? #sales #salescareer #retailsales #lessons #linkedin #linkedinengagement

Opportunity

You think and goal set differently from your peer group. You often see what others don't when selling. Your decisive competitive edge is how fast you adapt and learn in a dynamic setting. Your core strength is anticipating events before they happen. You have restaurant experience in your work history but it's not on your CV or resume. You also have POS or restaurant technology experience too but it's not on your CV or your resume. It's 6 weeks into the new year and you are reflecting on your new year's resolution(s). You are pondering a job change or a career change from what you are doing now. Your next move with your sales and restaurant experience is in SaaS sales as an Account Development Representative where you will be challenged to competitively learn, shorten sales cycles and increase the average dollar value of your deals. Your career journey awaits you at TouchBistro. Get after it! https://lnkd.in/gs_2Psgp
