How Can My Electronics Sales Skills Transfer to Recruitment?  

If transferred successfully, your skills developed in sales can result in high earnings! Some recruitment skills are honed over time, but starting off on the right foot is key… and that’s easier when your skills are transferable! 

Key transferable Electronic Sales skills:  

• Communication skills: Speaking to customers all day, and using your skills to be persuasive and informational. Great communication skills are key to creating a comfortable environment for those shopping, and encourage them to buy what you’re selling!  
• Teamwork skills: Working in sales, you may work with other team members all day - ensuring a smooth service for all customers. You know how to work with others and thrive in a busy, sociable environment - collaborating with your teammates to create the best service and a positive environment.  
• Emotional intelligence: You can read the room, understand what your customers want and know when to push and when to leave them to think. Awareness is vital… approaching customers at the perfect time, suggesting products after speaking to the customer, and generally understanding what the people want. 
• Industry Knowledge: You are an expert in your industry and your products! You know all the latest technological advances and innovations, and can sell all of the products with confidence! Having the knowledge to inform your customers on the products that interest them, or entice them by another product - is a great set of skills.

• Resilience: Rejection is a part of all sales, so building up resilience is key in improving confidence. Persevering through the awkward conversations, not being put off when customers aren’t immediately interested - whilst also dealing with customer problems and queries...Should we go on?
