After reaching a high in my landscaping career, it was cut-short due to injury so I had to have a rethink and restart. I heeded the advice of my doctor to seek a less physically intensive career. Having always been fascinated by sales, I viewed what could have been seen as going backwards as an opportunity so began my career as a sales cadet.This highly varied role allowed me the opportunity to learn many aspects of sales from an external position. No day was the same same and I could find myself doing some of the following:- Taking and editing photos for advertisements- Creating online listings for the sale and marketing of vehicles- Dealership Transport Logistics- Vehicle Grooming - Vehicle Deliveries to customers- Assisting Clientel with technical instruction on how to operate automotive technologies - Assistance with the operational aspects of eventsI was in this role longer than initially intended however this gave me the opportunity to actively pursue mentoring from our Sales Manager's and Dealer Principal in the area of sales which readied me for my sales position and provided a foundation that was essential to my current success.
