Do You Have What it Takes to be a Telecom/Sales Agent?

imagesCAXV86Y4When the topic of SALES is mentioned it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Some are put off by the mere word while others welcome it and/or it means money in their pocket and even flexible hours! What do you think of? An exciting challenge? A daunting endeavor for extroverts? President of NWMAP, Lennie Green, created a list of a few personality traits and types of people who would make a perfect-fit SALES Agent. He’s witnessed various types of people make a nice living selling Telecom services and products. He’s also been down that road himself.

First of all, it may seem less overwhelming when people know Sales Agents learn on-the-job. This means it’s an opportunity for growth. Lennie has specific tools he supplies his newer agents with and guides them through their independent path of sales. Traits and key points he’s noticed that do well or gravitate towards Sales Agent careers are as follows:

  • Enjoy a challenge. Problems have solutions.
  • Good listeners- every transaction with a customer involves a good amount of listening.
  • Believe in the word-of-mouth system. With each customer you’ve helped, there is a good chance it will get around.
  • View themselves as a business and an asset.
  • Want to do better than good or good enough. they’re always looking to improve themselves and invest in themselves as a business.
  • Good at time management and learn good time skills like closing sells faster.

The nitty gritty:

  • An ability and willingness to learn on-the-job, asking questions, and soaking up knowledge constantly.
  • Even engineering and/or technical people with the knowledge can learn people skills on the job and vice versa- if you have those people skills, you can learn the technical side.
  • Realize sales is about building relationships, networks, and customer satisfaction. It can be very rewarding (aside from the money).
  • A problem solver who enjoys creating strategies and working consistently with clients to find solutions. Think of it as a love connection dating site, except Telecom Sales Agents are matching their clients with the perfect product and service plan.
  • An ability to go between the people side of things to the technical side of things.
  • Speaking, and translating technology terms to clients.

You can grow into a sales position! Start with doing it on the side and build your business.

Selling The Cloud

Recently I ran across an article about Cloud Serivce Brokerages. If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple of years, Cloud technology is beyond emerging, it is in the spotlight. We’re all still figuring it out, where it fits into, how it’s best utilized, troubleshooting any issues, while businesses are weighing the pros and cons. Just as NW MAP does for Telecom services in general, there will be professionals needed to help businesses navigate the Cloud for consumers.

This article (link below), and others like it, predict that Cloud Brokerages will be a $100 billion dollar industry/third party assistance/integrator business. Those of us in Telecom have long known about how big a deal this will become. In fact, at NW MAP we are one of the first Telecom agencies to offer some unique services and products utlizing the Cloud. We figure we’ve been in the business for several years, and while Cloud Brokerages will be popping up seemingly overnight, we’ve been there all along and want others to cash in on this too.

Businesses can get low prices for the specialized services they need, not to mention be more efficient with or without an IT Department. For some smaller businesses, marketing can be an issue- lack of funds and people for an IT Department so these services are ideal. If you’d like to get a head start take advantage of these services, find out more from one of our agents: https://nwmap.com/contact-us

You can also take advantage of this for a selling opportunity as well- putting money in your pocket. We’re currently looking for talented sales agents to help get the word out and cash in on this opportunity: For more info: https://nwmap.com/contact-us/become-an-agent

Non-Sleasy Sales Approaches for Telecom Agents

In this information age, clients must come first. If we don’t treat clients golden, we risk having poor feedback somewhere on the Internet. The Internet is the first place many clients look to research a product, then a company specifically. Almost all sales agents know they should treat their existing clients well, but also the focus must be on potential clients who are in the early stages of considering products or services. They may take some time and not be ready to buy this instant. However, they are just as important to your earning potential.

Tips for Telecom Agents:

  • Focus on people in the information gathering phase, not necessarily ready to buy yet.
  • Provide them with as much free information and services that you can.
  • Focus on long-term goals as well as short-term. Sales tend to generate long-term revenue rather than short term or instant revenue.
  • Begin with the company itself without overdoing it on the products and services initially.
  • Read what people are saying about your company and you, including on social media sites.
