How to squeeze money out of your phone-chat-addiction?
Some of the applicants
of this profession may say that this is an easy job, and there is nothing
special about selling known products by phone.
Well they are right … you shouldn't worry if you have a cute and friendly nature, in order to tolerate the hassled customers who refuse to buy from you, or might send you away in a rude manner.

Most of the companies
offer this job with pay plus commission. Practically speaking, you get a base
salary for your everyday work, but you get a commission as well. So this means
the more sales you make, the more money you earn in addition to your previously
negotiated salary.
So you are highly motivated to sell as many products as you can. But of course, this motivation method depends on the company itself. But if you have luck you might get hired to a company which uses this kind of motivation strategy.

How to demonstrate your knowledge through a phone-interview?
Your future employer
might want to interview you by the phone-line. Hurray!!! You've made the first
step. You have been asked to demonstrate that you are the suitable applicant
for this job. This will be a defining moment because the employer will develop
your profile. The future employer may evaluate your personality,
communication-, and negotiation skills.
Body language isn't important, unless the phone call is accompanied by a camera through which the
employer may evaluate your body language and professional appearance as well.
If the employer might
get interested, you should mention your previous experiences with some
difficult customers along your sales journey through the telephone line. You've got a chance to show how well prepared you are for this job. Speak about
how your previous workplace has helped you develop your problem solving skills
and personal interest in selling goods.

You might learn
something useful from the funny episode below.
There is a movie where
Danny DeVito played the main character of a salesman at a car dealership.
He just started his job when his colleagues decided to trick him by
betting him that he is unable to sell a car exposed in the parking lot. Danny
accepted the bet and flounced out from the shop, to a man who was looking over
the tire of a car. A few minutes later the guy entered the shop completely
stunned, saying: “I just bought one of my own cars!”
I wrote this funny
episode just to emphasize that if you have the talent to sell a person’s car to
himself there won’t be recruiters who will reject you.
