A few things I learned from Darcy was that if you establish a great relationship with your customers, if something happens (where you get fired or move companies) because of that relationship you are able to carry those customers over. Also learned that most companies use various distributors because one company doesn't normally have the products a place needs. Try to keep a strict territory that way you aren't burning through the area as fast with to many sales people in that area.
I've learned a lot about sales, selling and the selling process. Sales is more then just making a sale. It's about building a relationship and connection with your customer to ensure the success of both parties. In order to build that relationship you have to be able to adapt in an environment that's always changing. No matter who you encounter (in a sale) whether it is B2C or B2B, single or multiple groups every sale will be different. Learning to adjust to your client in order to make a sale successful is key to be a great sales person. That is what sales has taught me.
As someone who has done a sales job before, preferably not. Unless my future sales job isn't a door-to-door sales job then possibly, but the risk for me seems more stressful then the worth. It did not have an impact because I already knew which direction I wanted to go into and this course was just to expand my knowledge about sales if I ever change my mind in the future.
Learned that creating a great business relationship leads to opportunities not only in sales but in any aspect of business or life. Having that well established trust between sales person and client or two business partners can really create a successful path later for you in life or even your future business/company.
Two goals I will set for myself in the next 6 months are: Get a well established marketing job (hard) and buy myself a used car (easy) after working for a bit.
