Are you looking for your first job? The best first job you could choose is in sales. The question that torments university students and young people over 18 the most is “I don’t know what I want to do. What kind of job should I look for?” Without any shadow of a doubt, our advice is: “Get a job in sales.”
Thanks to this experience you will learn the skills needed to sell anything, even yourself for future career moves. You will become a master of communication, you will increase your confidence through the results you achieve, and you will build an impressive professional path that will benefit your career now and in the future. The strengths and strategies you will acquire through selling will help you immensely in every aspect of your life, both professional and personal.
The best first job? Here are 4 reasons why sales wins
- You will increase your self-confidence:
Gaining experience in sales – talking to complete strangers and turning them into customers and even friends – will surely increase your self-confidence. The first sales experiences will seem difficult, but we all started there. The best thing to do is to keep trying until you manage to close a sale. And when you do, you will see what makes sales so compelling.
Reaching your goals will give you a boost of confidence that will benefit you in all areas of your life, in and out of work. Whether you are looking for a summer job, your first job or a career change, sales is an extraordinary experience that will be valuable to you forever.
- You will acquire the ability to sell anything:
Everyone is part of selling and once you are aware of it you will see it everywhere you look. Maybe you are not selling a product or a service in your current job position, but how did you get that position in the first place? You had to convince someone to hire you. You were selling yourself!
Being able to sell is the foundation of any kind of successful career.
Even as a student, you have to sell your ideas to receive funding and to publish. Don’t just take our word for it: a survey of business executives at the Hult International Business School rated “strong sales skills” among the 10 most important skills of today’s jobs. And a survey of graduates of Harvard Business School also stated that the biggest skills gap they had before founding their company was “a lack of sales experience”. Don’t let this happen to you too!
- You will perfect your communication skills:
Being able to articulate your ideas and speak eloquently is important in any kind of professional path. There is no other profession that allows you to connect with people, practice and continuously improve your communication skills.
A common trait among great leaders is their ability to inspire through language. This is one of the best things that sales teaches you.
When it comes to speaking and speaking well, practice makes perfect. Every day, you will develop your ability to persuade and influence. Thanks to the communication skills acquired on your career path, you will be able to negotiate effectively, perfect your presentation, use your ideas to inspire others and be more confident when speaking in public. These skills will follow you on every career path you choose to take.
- You will become an industry professional:
One of the advantages of a job in sales is the number of people you meet – after all, it is your job. After a few years of experience and having collaborated with marketing experts all the time, you might decide that marketing is a career more aligned with your strengths. Your sales skills and field experience will help you create the perfect CV and cover letter.
You will also meet countless professionals at conferences, meetings and company events. Not all of these encounters will lead you to a sale, but that does not mean they are not useful. Building a solid network among professionals can help you move forward in a sales career or in a new job search.
If you have ever wondered: “What should I do? Where do I start?” Start with sales.
