Comparison And Contrast Between The Work Of An Office Staff And A Salesman

People in the world have a variety of different work experiences. Every job plays a vital part in shaping a person’s professional and personal life. These jobs can make a person a better individual after they have worked in two different areas. Any job can teach him or her a lot. In this article, we’ll compare and contrast two different jobs. Only the Office Staff Job and Salesman Job will be discussed.

A salesman may also be known as a coordinator of sales, salesperson or a representative. Salesman is the person who markets and sells products to consumers or buyers. A part of his job involves explaining the functions, uses and services offered by products. He may also give out brochures or other forms of advertising. He’s the one that is constantly looking for prospective customers. A salesman must be able to provide all of the technical details about his products and services. It is important that he knows how to get the client to say yes.

In addition to retail and wholesale stores, salesmen may work in malls as well as supermarkets. He has to reach his sales target. The salesman needs to pursue his prospects and follow them up so that they will buy from him again. A salesman’s job is to provide satisfaction to their customer. They do this by regularly calling and asking the client how they like their product. Good verbal skills, interpersonal abilities, goal-orientedness, and a keen sense of marketing are required for the salesman position.

Office staff are people who work in offices and do clerical jobs. She is also responsible for assisting her supervisors with documents, information or other requests. She must be familiar with the job of office manager. Filling out paperwork, keeping track of finances, answering phones and emails, as well as typing words are all part of her office job. She is responsible for distributing the information from her superior to all of her co-workers. She can spread important announcements and information for her superior.

Office staff may also act as the personal assistant or secretary of their superior. In addition to organizing meetings and booking business trips, she also reminds her superiors about important tasks that need to be accomplished on certain days. She can be their frontline. Before they can speak to their superior, she will help her customer or guests. She prepares an agenda and needs to make a meeting minutes so that she can record what was said. She takes care of all complaints, and she also receives orders from the superior. She has lots of tasks, which include updating and maintaining office databases, mailings, and sometimes doing inventory using computers or manually. She prepares all outgoing mail. She is also in charge of ordering all office materials and supplies.

To be able to perform office work, she must have the following skills: excellent communication skills verbally and in writing, organizational skills and computer knowledge.

Both jobs are demanding, but they both value their workplaces. The workplace of a office worker is the same as that of a Salesman. Salesman must have certain skills that the office staff does not. A salesman needs marketing skills and strategies to increase sales. Office staff do not require these skills since they are only focused on the clerical work.

Salesmen are given a broader responsibility as they need to reach out to more people in order to sell their products and services. The office staff communicates with only a small number of co-workers and superiors. Salesmen are required to stand for long periods of time (8 to 10 hours) in order to carry out their jobs, while office staff spends the day sitting. Both are very tiring as they both need to exert effort and power in order for them to achieve their task.

Both of these can be helpful to a professional. Even if a job can be very demanding or requires many duties and responsibilities, you should always do your best. A person could find satisfaction in any job. Both are noble professions. You should enjoy the job that you have.
