• Learn how products work and how to troubleshoot issues with customers
• Prepare and submit weekly sales reports to management

Sales Representative qualifications and skills

Next, outline the required and preferred skills for your position. This may include education, previous job experience, certifications and technical skills. You may also include soft skills and personality traits that you expect from a successful candidate. While it may be tempting to include a long list of skills and requirements, including too many could dissuade qualified candidates from applying. Keep your list of qualifications concise, but provide enough detail with relevant keywords and terms.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• 2+ years’ direct or inside sales experience
• 4+ years’ retail experience a plus
• Ability to translate complicated technical jargon for the average consumer
