Field Executive

Field sales executives are counted on to represent the company they work for to existing and potential clients. An executive acts as the 'face' of his or her company, and as such is responsible for forging, maintaining and expanding links between corporations. A typical day will revolve around client meetings, but can also include calling up potential new clients and discussing future sales possibilities. Following up on meetings with e-mails and telephone contact, and keeping up with paperwork are also important parts of the job. A good field sales executive will also keep up with industry news for their trade sector, and particularly, keep an eye on company developments for any major corporate clients, through monitoring industry press.
