Much like a good chef who always tastes their food before sending it out for consumption, you must get your hands dirty with a sales job before starting your business. Here’s the tea on how working in sales gives you the first taste of business, based on observations of renowned entrepreneur, Eyal Dulin:
1. Gaining Expertise
Working in sales of almost any firm translates to handling customer queries before, while, and after completing the transaction of any product or service. This should help you familiarize yourself with the challenges in business and how to tackle them to measure the maximum success rate. The business expertise gained during the serving period can be applied to the value of our startup, helping you make more money.
Likewise, you’ll benefit from the process of explaining a product or product category and how the industry responds to modifications to fit a larger scheme. This also offers better insights on the next best step for the success and growth of your startup. It’s always easier to physically implement the infrastructure with blueprints in hand; the same applied to your startup could help you make decisions for your own business.
2. Learning Simplification
There’s tons of information on the Internet regarding the product or service being sold; unfortunately, since your potential customers can access this information, you’ll have to drag them out of the deluge. This makes it easier for you to explain to your investors why your business is worth investing in. Moreover, you’ll be able to comprehend how powerful decision-making makes adapting to thinking styles easier. You should be able to sock away the profit from sales to fund your business during its initial phases.
3. Acceptance and Rejection
Some days are easier than others; as a salesman, being rejected is part of the job that encourages you to develop a thicker skin for those who shrug off your million-dollar idea. Alternatively, you’ll also learn how to close a deal, considering you’ll be making sizeable sales during the start of your business. You’re a lifelong learner when you start to grow as an entrepreneur.
