Knowledge of the industry or service sector<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">It is important for a salesperson to understand the industry as a whole, the competitive market, and products that compete with or resemble their company\u2019s products. Sales representatives should <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">study competing products on the market and understand their strengths and weaknesses in terms of quality, materials, country of origin, and packaging methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">This information can be obtained by surveying consumers and analyzing samples of competing products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; color: #00ccff;\">2. Knowledge of the Company<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Salespeople represent their company, so they should understand its policies and marketing and advertising programs. This enables them to guide customers and help them <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">find the information they need about the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; color: #00ccff;\">3. Product or Service Knowledge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Sales representatives need to know their company\u2019s products and their key features so they can persuade customers to buy them. They should also be aware of their products\u2019 shortcomings <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">so they can find suitable solutions and provide reassuring answers when customers raise concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">or ask questions about them. This helps representatives respond persuasively. They may not know the answers to some questions; in that case, the representative should apologize <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">to the customer and follow up with the information later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; color: #00ccff;\">4. Knowledge of the Art of Selling<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">A successful salesperson must continually update their knowledge, skills, and techniques. Many companies provide sales representatives with comprehensive information about <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">their products, but do not train them in the art of selling. One of the best-known sales theories and techniques is the AIDA model (which we\u2019ll discuss in detail later). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0641\u064a \u0645\u0642\u0627\u0644 \u0622\u062e\u0631).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; color: #00ccff;\">5. Sales Orientation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Knowledge is latent power that must be used to achieve a goal. Knowing the elements above is not enough to make a sales representative successful; they must also know <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">how to use this information positively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">They should also set goals and plan how to achieve them, and continually strive to improve their performance.
