Is a sales career right for you?

As a multicultural city on the doorstep of Greater China, Hong Kong has long been a preferred business location, financial hub and destination for the ambitious.

Not only is the dim sum delicious, but there are many employment opportunities and a high demand for recruitment services.

Is a career in sales right for everyone? In some ways it is. You do not need to have a specific background or qualification to enter the industry, and many people find they can be successful by having passion and the right personality. From my experience in recruitment, I often see the following characteristics of successful people in sales:

High level of resilience
Self-confidence
Ambition
The ability to multitask
And in Hong Kong, proficiency in multiple languages

Do you possess these traits? You’re halfway there already!

If you’re a people person who can communicate well with candidates and clients alike, enjoy working in a performance driven environment, then you would be well suited to becoming a Recruitment Consultant. The following criteria will help you perform once in the role:

Industry knowledge
Sales track record
Strong commercial sense
Good connections with industry professionals

Recruitment is all about talent. If you would like to develop your sales career and tap into earning potential matched to your efforts, then there is no better time to start exploring opportunities.
