Working in Gym Sales, you thrive in an active and fast-paced environment. Every day is different, but with a constant focus to increase sales. But what are your career goals in membership sales? You’re here for a reason, you want more in life, and you want to create your dream life!  

How Can My Gym Sales Skills Transfer to Recruitment? 

If transferred successfully, your skills developed in Gym 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 Gym Sales skills: 

• Communication skills: Speaking to customers all day, and using your skills to be persuasive and educational. People skills are important, but as a salesperson you have honed these skills to become a confident and driven seller. Ensuring you create a comfortable environment for your customers!  
• A problem solver: Having a desire to solve problems, finding new ways to satisfy your customers needs - working around their financial or emotional reservations. Going out of your way to understand their needs, and communicating your solution - encouraging them to buy into what you’re selling.  
• Organisation: You will be used to having a well-organised day, as a crucial part of your selling process is being organised and on top of everything. Managing your time, prioritising tasks, a clean and tidy workspace…  
• Resilience: Rejection is a part of all sales, so building up resilience is key in improving confidence and being the best salesperson you can be. Chasing cold leads, persevering through the difficult conversations and not being put off when customers aren’t immediately interested.  

• Focus & Drive: You are focused, self-motivated and determined to succeed if you work in sales - constantly driven to succeed and achieve their goals. Working in a goal-driven environment, with staff and customers, you will have that target mindset and aim to get the best results.
