On a typical day, a salesperson has to welcome every customer, has to explain everything to them that needs to be explained, answer the questions of the customers, take care of them and most importantly, make some sales!

Depending on what they are selling, some salespeople work indoors and some, outdoors. For example, if you are selling products like clothes, you work indoors but for people that sell flowers or similar products, they usually work outdoors unless it's raining or something like that.


How can I become salesperson?

There's not really a school program that teaches how to be a salesperson but it's definitely better if you study business or finances courses because it will make the job a little bit easier for you. Other than that, you need to learn how to create a good relationship with your customer and also learn the different techniques to make a customer have more interest in what you are selling to them.

It always depends on what they sell and if they are good at it.

There's literally no danger. You just have to be careful with the customers because some of them have bad intentions.


What are the chances that salespeople will be replaced by robots soon?

In my opinion, 0 chances because it demands a lot of knowledge, patience, techniques and a bunch of other stuff to be a good salesperson.


What age do salespeople retire at?

At the same age, everyone does. They will have learned a lot of things, and gained many experiences from dealing with multiple people with different needs.


Conclusion

I am feeling very good about it and I think this is what I am meant to do for the rest of my life. My new goal is to make more sales on a weekly basis but it will come with time and experiences.
