IT Sales Jobs
One of the many requirements needed for success in IT sales jobs is a certain level of experience and comfort dealing with high-level decision makers. Purchases made for IT departments include such high-priced items as computers, serves, routers, and software packages. These decisions are not typically made by lower level employees.
For the IT sales person, this means that they should assume person they are talking to knows as much about technology as they themselves do. They may even know more, so the sales person has to be well-versed in every aspect of their product. This includes difference uses, operating systems, knowledge of how the product interacts with other systems, and the latest developments in the industry.
If You Don't Know the Answer, Get It
One of the biggest mistakes an IT sales person can make is to answer a question with a positive when they really don't know the answer. When potential clients ask if a product will work with their existing platform and the sales person doesn't know, there is always the temptation to answer, "Sure, it works with that." Rather than lose the client's trust, it's always better to get back to them with the correct answer.
