Describe technology sales and salespeople including skills and job information.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text.
?Technology salespeople must possess a general understanding of technology and a specific knowledge of the product they are selling. Strong people skills are important, including a keen listening ability and superior verbal communications. Technology salespeople generally determine buyers' needs and direct buyers toward devices, computers, and apps that meet their needs.?Some salespeople work directly for technology equipment manufacturers, mobile device manufacturers, or software manufacturers. Others work for resellers, including retailers that sell personal computer products. The technology salesperson in a retail store often is a suitable entry-level job for students working toward a certificate or degree in computer-related fields. Before consulting the opinion of a salesperson, be sure to independently research the product so that you can better determine whether answers to your questions are unbiased.
