One of the Other Titles for Salesman.

Presenting a few more for you.

Entry Level

Entry Level

Promotional Models- Convention Booth Models
Never believe them when they say, "Just smile and look pretty, darling."  But then when you ask them to speak, even if asked a question by the crowd, and she or he knows nothing about the product.  It looks bad on her and the company, so, many are or should be trained to promote the product.
Mid Entry Level Salary

Appointment Setters
Now, why make an appointment with someone about something they don't know much about? That's not all you have to do, you have to convince them to make the appointment for a service.  If on the phone, speaking to someone, questions and information is going to be given or expected.


Each of these jobs, in some way, tries to sell a product or service, to save one, to get one, for the businesses they work for, in some way. There is no doubt, there are plenty more that fall under this category. My advice is to measure the amount of work you are doing to obtain that sale. Consider hourly over salary, every one is at different stages of careers.

In reality, ideally,  if you work for a company or even yourself, it is only toward your benefit if you learn how to sell. Be it a skill, a service, a product or a even a night out, well that last one was just for fun.  It's detrimental, if you have someone working for you that knows little about the company. Always keep the product, your partner, or the company in good light with others, as much as possible.
That is a good salesman!
