None of us want to not only step on your favorite rake, but also repeat the mistakes of its predecessors.But often we settle for "elegant" offer without thinking about why it is such a good employer draws alluring prospects?And why, if they have such a great company, a great team, and everything is fine, there is such a staff turnover?And why ... But ask such questions can be set.However, most often they occur after had to resign.Only then comes the thought: "But you can read the reviews of the work!"
Trade Representative - versatile profession.In the sense that, under certain communication skills and the right approach, people will be able to sell anything.From lingerie or gum to high-precision machinery and equipment for operating rooms.
Preparation: collect information
We decided to try himself as a traveling salesman?Do not be lazy, gather feedback on the work.Sales representative, distributor, regional manager - as if vacancies were not called, are often one and the same.It can be an excellent and highly paid employment.On one condition (or rather - two): the first - a product that you will promote, really need someone.And second, the manufacturer is ready to appreciate your efforts.Faced with a negative opinion on the network, try to analyze these responses about work.Sales representative - a profession directly related to communication.If the comments are about how hard to establish contact with the client, or tell us about the boorish attitude of potential buyers, they can be ignored.Troubles encountered in any field of activity, but this is not always a reason for rejecting it.
manufacturer - distributor - representative - the buyer
In this chain you - if you wish - will occupy the penultimate link.In some cases, it is excluded from the distributor.We are talking about a situation where a manufacturer prefers to promote their products directly, rather than through a network of resellers.However, since it alone is difficult to reach the market, it will need a sales representative.Reviews of the work, containing data about a particular employer, will be potential candidates for the most important.Why is that?Because they can show how honest and loyal to the manufacturer in relation to intermediaries.In this field the opportunity to leave the representative of the "empty-handed" mass.Especially if it only works for a commission on sales.
Evaluation Assessment strife
On the one hand, the most important are the opinions of those who worked for the sales representative.Reviews of former employees, however, is taken into account with some skepticism.Judge for yourself: if everything goes perfectly, no complaints, and the person is fully satisfied with his income, if he would "create a competitor"?Hardly!Anyway, in the city or region.Touted the manufacturer or distributor about the work (sales representative also belongs to this category) should be taken into account if the territorial coverage of your future activities will be different.On the other hand, flip through the pages of forums, information search dedicate at least a few hours.But remember: the negative reviews about the (sales representative) does not always reflect reality.They are required to be taken into account in the event that a lot of them on the same company.Misunderstanding or inconsistencies can happen in any company.But some companies, seeking to outperform its competitors in the results, at the same time contemptuous of its employees.About these "exploiters" who do not respect time and energy representatives do not pay on time or pay commissions, reviews appear quite quickly.
