Pros And Cons Of Career In Marketing

893 Words4 Pages

After working the entire semester at Quoio, I can confirm that I still would enjoy a job in marketing or sales someday in the future. Throughout my work, I was tasked with a wide variety of activities ranging from researching competitors to designing an online marketing ad campaign. From these activities, I have developed a plethora of new skills that will be extremely beneficial in future work. I discovered that I love marketing and brainstorming how to market and sell a product correctly and effectively. And, I also realized how much I enjoy selling products to others, and that it comes quite naturally. In my opinion, there are numerous pros to a career in sales and marketing. These pros include: rewarding, challenging, flexibility, and …show more content…

The cons I see in this career include: losing, flexibility, travel. My personality type does not handle rejection and loss well. It would be naïve to say I will not have any losses in my sales career. But, when I do lose, I need to learn how to handle it. Instead of taking it personally, I should be motivated to go out and land a new client instead. If I am truly set on a sales career, I need to work very hard not to let the losses affect the rest of my work. Traveling is a minor con to this type of job. I do not mind traveling within a state to other cities. But, I feel as though I may be extremely tired if my sales job required frequent travel. Obviously, I hope to have a family someday, and overnight or extended stay travel would prohibit spending as much time with my family. Flexibility is a pro as I previously discussed, but I also believe it could serve as a con. If I had the flexibility to work whenever I wanted and from wherever I wanted, this could be dangerous. An outside sales position would require setting a strict schedule for myself in order to not be distracted. Overall, the pros of a sales position outweigh the

    111). The main reason why this is one of my favorite aspects of this book is that it encourages “reasonable down-selling” (Spoelestra, 1997, p. 112). I think that too often salespeople try to only upsell customers, and that can end in a bad experience for the customer, or not sale for the organization at all. I believe that if all salespeople abide by this rule, then organizations will be more successful, as customers will actually be purchasing something they actually want and will enjoy, which increases the chance that they will be a repeat

In the beginning, I found myself staring down the road of becoming a teacher or dental hygienist. At first the idea of becoming a teacher seemed like a prominent, and fulfilling job.

Nevertheless, it is a very interesting subject, which deals with promoting and selling services and products.
