Field Sales Officer

A Field Sales Executive is essentially the "boots on the ground" for a company. Unlike an inside sales rep who sits behind a desk, your office is the real world—meeting clients at their shops, offices, or homes.

Here is a breakdown of what the role typically looks like:

## Core Responsibilities

• Lead Generation: Hunting for new customers (prospecting) through cold calling, door-to-door visits, or following up on company leads.

• Product Demonstrations: Meeting potential clients face-to-face to explain how your product or service works and why they need it.

• Negotiation & Closing: Handling objections, discussing pricing, and getting the customer to sign the contract.

• Relationship Management: Checking in on existing clients to ensure they are happy and looking for "upsell" opportunities.

• Reporting: Keeping track of daily visits, sales targets, and market feedback in a CRM or a daily log.

## Key Skills Required

• Resilience: You’ll hear "no" more than "yes." Having a thick skin and a positive attitude is a must.

• Communication: You need to be able to talk to anyone, from a small business owner to a corporate manager.

• Time Management: Since you are out in the field, you have to plan your routes efficiently to hit as many meetings as possible.

• Negotiation: The ability to "close the deal" and find a win-win for both the company and the client.

## What to Expect (The Reality)

• Travel: You will likely spend 70-80% of your time traveling locally. A personal vehicle (bike/car) is often required.

• Targets: This is a performance-based role. You will have monthly or weekly sales quotas to hit.

• Pay Structure: Usually a mix of a Fixed Salary + Incentives. The more you sell, the more you earn.

• It is a Full Time Field Sales job for candidates with 0 - 6 months of experience.
