1 Learn the product

Before you start selling, you need to know what you're selling. You should familiarize yourself with the features, benefits, and value proposition of your product or service, as well as the target market, competitors, and industry trends. You can do this by reading the company's website, brochures, and case studies, as well as asking questions to your sales manager and colleagues. You should also try to use the product yourself or watch demos to see how it works and what problems it solves.

Transitioning from an administrative role to sales requires understanding the product or service thoroughly, including its features, benefits, and competitive advantages. Developing strong interpersonal skills to build rapport and trust with clients is crucial. Learning effective sales techniques, such as active listening and objection handling, is also essential. Additionally, understanding the sales process, including prospecting, qualifying leads, and closing deals, will be vital for success. Continuously seeking feedback and refining skills through practice will help me excel in this new role.

Fator primordial para atuar no setor de vendas! Um bom vendedor deve conhecer a fundo o seu produto/servi?o, identificando os principais pontos positivos e quais necessidades ser?o supridas de seus clientes. Tendo o domínio do seu produto, análise e busque informa??es sobre seus principais concorrentes para “driblar” as negativas dos clientes dizendo que a outra marca tem um produto mais barato. Apenas dizer que o seu é mais caro por ser melhor é muito vago. O consumidor quer argumentos que o fa?am entender que o seu produto é, de fato, o melhor que ele pode adquirir.

2 Develop your sales skills

As an administrative assistant, you already have some transferable skills that can help you in sales, such as communication, organization, and customer service. However, you also need to develop some specific sales skills, such as prospecting, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, and closing. You can learn these skills by taking online courses, reading books and blogs, listening to podcasts, and watching videos on sales topics. You should also seek feedback and coaching from your sales manager and peers, and practice your sales pitch and objection handling with role-playing scenarios.

3 Build your network

One of the most important aspects of sales is building relationships with prospects and customers. You need to establish trust, rapport, and credibility with your contacts, and provide them with value and solutions. You can build your network by reaching out to your existing contacts, such as former clients, colleagues, and friends, and asking for referrals and introductions. You can also use social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, to connect with potential customers, share relevant content, and join industry groups and discussions.

5 Handle rejection

Rejection is inevitable in sales. You will face many situations where your prospects and customers will say no, ignore your calls and emails, or choose a competitor. You need to handle rejection with resilience and positivity, and learn from your mistakes and feedback. You can handle rejection by maintaining a positive mindset, focusing on your strengths and achievements, celebrating your wins, and seeking support from your sales manager and colleagues. You should also analyze your rejections and identify areas for improvement, such as your sales pitch, value proposition, or objection handling.
