My name is Christian R. Ornelas. I would like to specialize as a sales manager. As a sales manager I would be responsible for coordinating the efforts of an entire
sales organization, and held accountable for a team’s ability to
meet their sales goals. I would need to have an intimate knowledge of the
dynamics of making a sale and closing the deal. I would also need to know
how to analyze market trends and financial statements to put together an
effective and comprehensive sales plan. To get a job as a sales manager it is stressed a lot that I have a lot of sales training and experience in the sales business. While most employers prefer sales manager candidates with a combination of experience and education, it’s most desirable to have at
least five years of previous sales experience, although a sales
representative with fewer years in the field but a history proven
results will certainly be considered. In terms of education, many
companies favor sales manager applicants with a bachelor’s degree in
business, marketing, advertising or other similar fields.
I believe I can reach my goal as a sales manager because I think I'm the type of person who can easily get used to that field of work. I like to figure trends, patterns, and come up with future predictions. I find it really satisfying to be correct on my predictions. I can also work with people really well and express an idea and teach others what they have to do. At first I will have to climb the ladder of the job, meaning that I will have to work my way up from a lower position before I can reach my throne as the sales manager that I would like to be.
I would really like to become a sales manager because I believe that I can easily specialize in the field of work. Although a lot of responsibility will placed on my shoulders, I believe that I can maintain the position and do my job correctly under many different circumstances and pressure. I don't necissarily need to become a sales manager for me to be happy, all I am really hoping for is for a good amount of income to support the family I dream I having with the girl I love and also have enough to send back home and support my parents who by the time I am able to reach my goal will already be old to work for themselves. In a different light, it really isn't about the money. I want to make the people around me proud of me. I haven't really established a career for my future, but I want to be the type of person that everyone can look up to for motivation.
According to a BLS report, sales managers earned a median annual salary
of about $96,790 in May 2009. Those in the middle 50% bracket earned
between $65,210 and $141,430 a year, while the top 10% of all sales
managers had an annual income in excess of $166,400. To
achieve the top sales manager salaries, you need to deliver the results
to earn them. An investment in advanced sales management training will
usually pay dividends in terms of salary and bonus potential.
