Technology Sales Jobs
During the last two decades, many companies have emerged in the technology sector, selling B2B, B2C, and Internet technology products. They aren't the only companies making good use of technological advancements, however. Other companies that have retained their "brick and mortar" service or product have also leveraged advanced technology--streamlining their processes and making them more efficient.
For sales people, this is good news. It means that the pool of possible client companies is constantly expanding, and formerly expensive technology is now becoming more reasonable. As technology is not industry-specific, there is as much likelihood of an agricultural company needing a software package, as there is a hi-tech company.
Different Backgrounds Add Value
Another benefit of technology being an industry-wide necessity is that it means sales people with non-technical backgrounds can still bring valuable experience to a company. Someone, for example, that has worked in the produce industry, may be a perfect fit for a company selling B2B customer management software. Or someone who has worked as a travel agent may find their experience useful to an online travel service.
