Selling is one of the most important tasks in the world, this may sound strange. But everything you have and will ever get is the result of someone who, somewhere, sold it to you. By selling you are an important link between your product or service and the customers who benefit from it. In this blog we give 5 reasons why working in sales is so much fun.

1. Tension & sensation

Working in sales is exciting; every day there are new challenges and no day is the same. Not everyone is suitable for this tension, it can also cause a lot of stress. Working in sales is fun and exciting, but you must be able to easily step out of your comfort zone. You are regularly confronted with the facts and it is not always a party, but the adrenaline that is released when closing a big deal is a feeling that every salesperson lives for.

2. Develop skills that are useful to you

Tenacity, listening and communication skills, customer-oriented thinking. In a sales position you learn so much that will be useful not only at that moment, but also for the rest of your career. In no job do you hear “no” as often as in sales. This will help you develop resilience and resilience. Also useful in everyday life!

3. You may help others solve their problems

As a salesperson you offer the world solutions to problems. Products and services have been created by your (company) to help individuals or companies. When you listen to the problems your prospect has, it is quite liberating when he then hears what solution you have to help him with that.

4. Freedom

Most sales positions offer more freedom than average. Of course, with this freedom comes great responsibility and as long as you perform and achieve results, you have a lot of freedom. Practice shows that if you do not achieve results, freedom decreases and stress increases.

5. Sales earns well

Money isn't everything, but it does pay your bills and it provides the lifestyle you aspire to. And let's be honest; How many positions are there where you largely determine how much you earn? (not much) Good performance is well rewarded in good sales positions through an attractive bonus system. You hold your own future in your hands.
