Sales representatives may work in a geographically assigned area/territory or within a company’s premises depending on their employment type.
Their main job is to develop business opportunities by soliciting clients. They do this by demonstrating product features to both existing and new clients in a bid to entice them to make a purchase.
CVs for sales representative positions need to reflect much information regarding target market knowledge and sales techniques. A successful candidate is usually the one who knows how to build a CV that is focused on his core abilities as a sales representative.
