As a senior in the sales industry, I have some advice to share with new colleagues. If you want to be a good salespeople, you need to be beautiful, smart, hard-working, and motivated. Firstly to be beautiful means you should keep your skin in good condition, because it will affect whether customers believe our skincare products are effective. Secondly to be smart means you should learn how to break the ice with the customers, and how to make them be interested in our products. Thirdly to be hard-working means you should cherish every passing customer, and find a way to let her buy our products. Finally to be motivated means to keep smiling at all difficulties, because next passing person may be your customer. There’s a big difference in income in the sales industry, it’s very competitive. If you want to muddle along, I advise you not to do this work. Of course, if you’re ready, I’ll do my best to teach you.
