Sales agents are professionals who represent a company or organization to sell its products or services. They often work on commission, meaning they earn a percentage of the sales they make. Sales agents can operate in various industries, including real estate, insurance, and retail, and they typically build relationships with clients to understand their needs and provide suitable solutions. These agents may work independently or as part of a larger sales team. Their responsibilities include identifying potential customers, presenting products, negotiating prices, and closing sales. Effective communication and interpersonal skills are essential for success in this role, as sales agents must engage and persuade clients.
