Career Profile - Sales Executive


Career Profile


Sales executives help to drive a business forward by selling its products or services to customers

Your role as a sales executive is to sell a company’s products and services to individuals, businesses, and government organisations. Sales may be domestic (within the UK), international, or a combination of both.

As well as approaching potential customers with the aim of winning new business, you’ll strive to maintain good relationships with existing clients, gaining repeat business wherever possible.

Types of Sales Executive

Also known as sales representatives, sales consultants, territory managers or business development representatives, sales executives usually operate within one of two main categories of sales:

* business to business (B2B)
* business to customer or consumer (B2C).

Responsibilities
As an Sales Executive, your duties will differ if you’re working in B2B or B2C sales:

In B2B sales, you’ll need to:

* build good working relationships
* understand the needs of your business customers
* research the market and related products
* present the product or service favourably and in a structured professional way * face-to-face.

In B2C sales, you’ll need to:

* listen to customer requirements and present appropriately to make a sale
* maintain and develop relationships with existing customers in person and via * telephone calls and emails
* cold call to arrange meetings with potential customers to prospect for new business
* respond to incoming email and phone enquiries
* act as a contact between a company and its existing and potential markets
* negotiate the terms of an agreement and close sales
* gather market and customer information
* challenge any objections with a view to getting the customer to buy
* advise on forthcoming product developments and discuss special promotions
* create detailed proposal documents, often as part of a formal bidding process, * which is largely dictated by the prospective customer
* check the quantities of goods on display and in stock
* make accurate, rapid cost calculations and providing customers with quotations.

For both roles, you’ll be required to:

* negotiate on price, costs, delivery and specifications with buyers and managers
* liaise with suppliers to check the progress of existing orders
* record sales and order information, sending copies to the sales office, or entering figures into a computer system
* represent the company at trade exhibitions, events and demonstrations
* feed future buying trends back to employers
* review your own sales performance, aiming to meet or exceed targets
* attend team meetings and share best practice with colleagues.

Salary

* Salaries and commission rates vary considerably in sales. As a guide, basic salaries start in the range of £20,000 to £30,000.
* Mid-range salaries with approximately three to five years’ experience are usually around £28,000 to £40,000.
* At senior level, you can earn a basic salary of £30,000 to £60,000, with commission or bonuses adding £2,000 to over £100,000, depending on the industry, product, location and level of individual success.

Salaries are usually a combination of a basic salary (a guaranteed amount, regardless of sales made) and a bonus or commission (an amount based on the quantity sold). The combined amount is often referred to as on-target earnings (OTE). Commission may be calculated as a percentage of or a flat rate for every sale. It can be capped or uncapped.

It’s also possible to work on a commission-only basis, which means working without a basic salary and having an income based entirely on sales.

As considerable travel is often required, many employers provide a company car, petrol allowance or subsidised mileage in your own car.

Working Hours

Working hours vary according to the sector but are generally quite long, with the pressure to meet targets making late finishes a regular part of the job, especially at the end of the employer’s financial quarter or year.

Part-time work may be available.

What to expect

* The sales industry is target driven and consequently, the work can sometimes be demanding and pressurised.
* Conditions of work vary widely according to the field in which you operate. You could be based in the UK or overseas and may work from an office base, or office at home or use hotels as your office.
* Sales executives are generally expected to look professional and smart when liaising with clients.
* The work environment is typically fast paced and competitive but if you thrive in that type of culture, it can give you the chance to achieve good results and have a high level of job satisfaction.
* There are more men than women working in the industry but initiatives are in place to encourage women into sales and to raise awareness of the need for gender diversity, such as the Women in Sales Awards.
* Travel within a working day to meet with clients is common and sometimes it may require overnight absence from home. There may be the chance for overseas travel depending on the company and clients.

Skills

You’ll need to have:

* the ability and desire to sell
* excellent communication skills
* a positive, confident and determined approach
* resilience and the ability to cope with rejection
* a high degree of self-motivation and ambition
* the skills to work both independently and as part of a team
* the capability to flourish in a competitive environment
* a good level of numeracy
* a full driving licence
* fluency in a foreign language – this can be helpful, particularly if working for an international company.

Career prospects

Promotion is usually based on results and so rapid progress and early promotion is common for high performers. A successful sales track record will generally result in promotion to:

* handling larger and more prestigious customer accounts
* taking responsibility for key products
* working on national accounts, for example selling to retail buyers and wholesalers
* a sales executive trainer role (usually as part of a current role)
* a sales manager role with responsibility for a team of people.

Many larger companies have a promotion structure that typically involves moving up from sales executive to area sales manager, to national sales manager and ultimately to sales director. It’s quite common to move between different companies to achieve promotion or a higher salary.

A move out of sales into training and education, or recruitment, is another possibility. Sales executives also have the option to move into related career areas, such as advertising, marketing, more general commercial management or public relations (PR).

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?

This is a dual-certification course and you will therefore receive two qualifications. This course is certified by Open Learning College via the Open Pathway Accreditation Programme.

This course leads to a Level 3 for successful learners. This means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) for England.

This qualification has been developed by Open Learning College to meet the specific needs of our learners and has been accredited by QLS demonstrating the learning activity has reached the required Quality Licence Scheme standards and benchmarks.

The Quality Licence Scheme recognises a provider’s commitment to high-quality courses in the non-regulated sector, by evaluating quality processes and endorsing an organisation. This demonstrates to the people you work with that there is a commitment to delivering a high quality of learning and learners are able to receive an endorsed Certificate of Achievement upon completion of their course.

Open Learning College have undergone external quality checks to ensure that the organisation and the courses’ it offers meet a high standard. Regular reviews of our courses are carried out as part of the endorsement process.

2. You will receive the Open Pathway Accreditation Diploma (OPA.dip) from Open Learning College.



Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.

The Executive Office Skills (Level 2) course has exceeded my expectations. The modules are highly informative and relevant to my role as a senior administrator. I particularly enjoyed the unit on project management, as it equipped me with the tools to effectively plan, execute, and monitor projects within my organisation. The course content is presented in a manner that is easy to digest, and the practical exercises are incredibly beneficial. Overall, this course has been instrumental in enhancing my office skills and boosting my confidence in my role. Highly recommended for anyone aspiring to excel in office administration.
