the goal of this particular section is
to give you entire understanding of of
sales and specifically sales at Planet
spark so let's get ready for a ride into
the world of sales Excellence let's go
to the next
slide we are going to cover sales in
general chapter so we will try to cover
five most important thing into sales one
of them is the first chapter why sales
as a career option because all of you
are freshers and joining our
organization to take an understanding
that how sales work but 80 to 90% people
who are coming to sales they are not not
aware about their own strength that how
they can use them to become a good
salesperson and how sales can be a
career option for them so we are going
to answer all these uh questions in
chapter 1.1 uh chapter 1.1 two is
basically is a difference between B2 B
and b2c sales we are going to explain
each and every detail how b2c works and
how B2B Works chapter 3 we are going to
cover attech sales industry in India how
it all started and what kind of things
are happening into attech and what is
the future of attech in India we're
going to talk about that fourth chapter
we are going to cover b2c specifically
because Planet spark dynamics of sales
is b2c and we are going to learn how you
can Master b2c sales as a fresher as a
new person to the sales right in the
fifth chapter we are going to learn
about the most important element of
sales which is basically rejection as
they say that sales is not about winning
the customer it's about how you can
handle the rejection so we are going to
cover these five important chapter so
that you can get a brief understanding
of sales in
general going to talk about the chapter
one of topic one of section one uh the
most important question why one should
choose sales as a career option right so
if you look at sales domain you will
find that this particular domain is
always regarded as the lifeblood of any
business and somewhere if you look
closely you will find it that this is
the only only domain which plays the
biggest role in driving the revenue and
foring the growth of an organization now
the thing is if you look at today's
Trend all Industries are evolving even
the market is becoming quite competitive
so the demand for skilled sales
professionals like you will be
continuing to rise so in this particular
chapter we are trying to understand
Dynamic world of sales and why one
should opt for this particular
option and their career so the first
thing uh is financial benefit so you get
lucrative earning potential through
sales one of the primary reason or I
would say primary attraction of this
particular uh career option is that you
get high earnings in your hand if you
compare it to any other profession sales
will reward an individual based on the
performance right now when I say reward
reward means uh commission bonus and
incentives these are the common
components of a sales professionals
compensation package right so indirectly
sales is providing you a direct
correlation between your effort and your
financial success right second uh
benefit which you get through sales as a
career is your learning right skill
development and the personal growth what
happened people think sales is only
about interacting with customer but it's
not like that it's beyond that it's
about building long long-term
relationships and uh uh you always try
to understand customer needs so you will
learn lot of new things into it and
basically as you're interacting with
customer and all customer have a
different personality from one each
other so you have effective
communication as well right now
basically to have a successful sales
career you need basic skills of like
negotiation communication and problem
solving but these basic skills are
actually life skill for us the skill are
not only contributing to my professional
success these skills somewhere translate
into a valuable life skill and that you
can apply in various aspect of your
personal life as well so these are the
two major benefit you get through sales
as a career and to understand this thing
better let's watch a video five reasons
why sales is the best career out
there
if you're working in sales now or
looking to get in sales make sure to hit
the like button Below on this video
right now it really helps support the
channel and the algorithm will actually
help funnel more sales content directly
to you the number one reason why sales
is the best career is flexible work
schedule and autonomy in the role the
beautiful thing and the difficult thing
about sales is it's Performance Based
you have a quarterly quota no matter
what industry you work in and most
companies don't require you to say hey
you got to be in the office at 7:30 or
you got to be in at 9:00 of course that
will dictate manager by manager company
to company but at the end of the day
either you hit your number or you don't
hit your number and whatever it takes to
hit that number you must do the earlier
in the year or the quarter you hit that
number the more leeway and flexibility
you'll have later on because you're not
necessarily Back Against The Wall need
to go perform and the autonomy piece
comes in because you have a sales
manager the sales manager's role is to
help you close more deals and become
more successful but ultimately think of
yourself as a franchise owner you are a
franchise you have a book of business of
maybe 300 companies that you can sell
into and it is your job to maximize the
revenue potential in each of those
companies and you're essentially your
own business owner so you can work as
much or as little as you want as long as
you can hit your number that's all that
matters at the end of the day the second
reason why sales is the best career is
that it is the career path best position
to act as a career step stepping stone
what do we mean by that many
organizations are large are bureaucratic
are political and you need to know the
right people or be liked by the right
leaders in order to move up in the
organization the best thing about sales
and my own personal experience working
in software sales for the last 3 years
is that it's performance- based like we
said that will dictate your pay but that
will also dictate you advancing in the
organization most old organizations
still are very bureaucratic and
political and you can't avoid that but
many of the progress of companies
nowadays especially my company in order
to promote it's very binary it's black
and white if you hit your number you
promote if you don't hit your number you
don't promote and when we think about
advancing in your career going from a
low-level sales development
representative or an entry level of
salesperson to a revenue closing role to
a larger Enterprise rep where you're
working bigger deals can make more money
you have the ability to go on that path
of pure individual contributor if you're
really good and want to maximize your
earning potential or you can decide to
go into leadership and it's the same
thing if your team performs in
leadership you will continue to get
recognized and you're able to climb up
the ranks of an organization so that you
can begin to get in operational roles
perhaps a chief Revenue officer and then
parlay that into becoming the CEO one
day or as high level as you're looking
to go sales gives you that flexibility
to move up an organization fast because
you control your destiny based on your
performance the number three reason why
sales is the best career is the earning
potential everyone talks about sales you
make a lot of money and you absolutely
can make a lot of money my first year
out of college I made
$50,000 at 25 Less Than 3 years out of
college my On Target earnings are around
$130
$140,000 I've 3x my income in 3 years
and that's absolutely possible for you
as well getting into sales because it is
Performance Based and if you sell a lot
of deals you will make more money at the
end of the day as long as you're not
capped on commission rates and if you
have any sort of accelerators and you
get to the big level in a prise reps you
can be making 200 300 400 500 plus th000
a year solely by performing really well
in the role so if you're looking to
master a skill that's always important
and make a lot of money throughout the
way sales is absolutely the best career
for you if you're enjoying this video so
far make sure to subscribe to the
channel now we're trying to grow to
100,000 we're not going to get there
without your support so really
appreciate you watching to this point
and the fourth reason why sales is the
best career is because you control your
destiny and that's been an underlying
theme in this entire video autonomy
flexibility you really do control your
destiny of course you could feel like
you have a bad territory you got a
unlucky balance of the ball But
ultimately you decide the inputs you
decide how much time you spend how much
effort and energy put into meeting with
customers setting up meetings trying to
close deals putting together proposals
whatever it takes to generate more
revenue and you ultimately control your
destiny because if you're willing to do
whatever it takes to go hit your number
then you will be acknowledge then you
will advance your career and you will
make a lot of money throughout the way
and that's the part that I really like
about it because I have friends that
work in Consulting I have friends that
work in finance and often times that's
deliverable B you're doing projects
you're doing one-off assignments and
your entire career is based off of does
your leader like you does your leaders
lead like you and that's all that
matters because you don't necessarily
have a clear-cut metric of did you
produce by hitting your number or did
you not and that's what I really like
about sales the fifth reason why sales
is the best career is because the skill
set you are learning in mastering is
always in demand if you join a company
you work for for 1 year 5 years 10 years
and you really master how to close deals
and generate Revenue all organizations
name any industry name any company all
organizations need a sales function
accelerating Topline Revenue growth is
what organizations care about and in
order to do that you need a Salesforce
so the skills you learn in sales are
transferable to any industry any job
ultimately it's communication it's
persuasion it's negotiation a lot of
different skills that are always going
to be valuable in the marketplace and
then the next question is what industry
you get in I recommend software sales
that's what I talk about in this channel
look into technology you're at The
Cutting Edge of innovation and helping
transform and shape the way in which we
work the way in which we live and
interact with one another and how
Society moves forward the possibilities
are endless and it's really exciting to
me so thanks so much for watching this
video I hope you enjoy the five reasons
why sales is the best career
I did just wake up I did just pour this
cup of coffee I don't know if you can
see the steam coming off it and you may
be asking Trent why did you do that I've
gotten feedback that I talk with my
hands a lot so I'm trying to control my
hands I'm trying to control my manorisms
so I have a full cup of coffee that I'm
drinking but simultaneously it's kept my
hand movement down a little bit so if
you drink coffee make sure to comment
down below a coffee Emoji or a drink
emoji it can be water it can be one of
the juices whatever it may be would love
to see that down in the chat regardless
thanks so much for watching enjoy your
long Memorial weekend I will see you in
the next video bye answer uh that why
one should choose sales as a career
option and to make it more clear for you
I want to add a few more elements and
one of the most important element is
basically you get lot of opportunities
for networking into sales this is the
one of the biggest advantages of a
career in sales because in sales you
interact with the diverse group of
people from kid to an elder person you
interact with a lot of people and when
you interact with them you actually
building a connection with them and
building these connection can open doors
of new opportunities for you right and
there is a saying that your network is
your net worth and sales provides an
excellent platform to grow your network
right and again personal growth as we
know uh that whatever skill we are
utilizing into sales uh profile so let's
say I'm getting good at negotiation or
communication or maybe solving problems
of others so these skills will also help
me in my personal life as well so
networking and personal growth these are
the additional benefit if you opt for
sales as a career and we are going to
further disc about this thing into
length in coming
