Original:

I am a sales man with almost 18 years experience. I want to talk about what are important things of my job and which one is the most important.
Obviously, the most important thing is Product Quality. PQ is the precondition. No quality, no product. I think PQ should be including raw material, production quality, test reports or approval, easy using or installation and after-sales service.
Enough stock and delivery time are the second important condition of my job. They are always together. Customers wouldn’t often wait for a long while due to tight deadline.
I think relationship with customers is the third important thing in my work. Customers are emotional human. a customer always has a favorite brand in his/her mind with or without saying it. To build a good relationship with a customer and keep it and further strengthen it is very important for a sales man.
The next important factor is Price. Lower price can provide more competitiveness. It can hit our competitors directly and get customers’ attention. But in fact, no one wants to wage a price war.
Finally, MarCom is importance. It is good for our brand and sales.

Edited:

I am a salesman with almost 18 years of experience and today I want to talk about some of the most important things when it comes to my job.
Obviously, the most important thing about sales is Product Quality. It is a precondition, because if there is no quality, there is no product. Product quality includes raw materials, production quality, test reports or approval, easy use or installation and after-sales service.
Stock availability and delivery time are the second most important condition for my job. They always come together, because customers often have tight deadlines and don’t want to wait long for their products.
I think relationship with customers is the third most important thing in my work. Customers are emotional humans. A customer always has a favorite brand in his/her mind, regardless of wether or not they say it. To build, keep and further strengthen a good relationship with a customer is very important for a salesman.
The next important factor is price. Lower prices can provide more competitiveness by hitting our competitors directly and getting customers’ attention. However, it is important to note that no one wants to wage / get into a price war.
Finally, MarCom is also very important, because it is good for our brand and sales.
