So recently I have been looking at changing jobs. I wanted to get a sales job because I know it's an important skill to have and is a really productive use of my time. Though I am having trouble figuring out what will be the best in terms of:
* Cold calling jobs
* Retail stores
* Internal sales
Was thinking cold calling. I am a bit scared of it and worried I was I'm going to quit fast but I do see good potential to it.
I looked at retail stores and such but if I am selling things like laptops, there isn't really much to sell a customer on. So I think it won't give me the best experience. I was looking at real estate and that sort of jazz, but a lot of it is hours like from 8am-8pm. No time for my personal projects.
Internal sales lastly, seems more like processing orders and taking orders over the phone not actual selling?
Just wondering on people's opinions here, what do you guys think is the best sort of role is to get sales experience? I did look a bit at startup's but there's not much around.
