Sales Representatives of Services, Except Advertising, Insurance, Financial Services, and Travel

Sell services to individuals or businesses. May describe options or resolve client problems.

What They Do

Sales representatives in the service sector connect businesses and consumers with solutions they need, from technology platforms to professional consulting. They spend their days identifying potential clients, reaching out through calls, emails, and meetings, then learning about each prospect's specific challenges or goals. Rather than selling physical products, they help clients understand how services—whether software subscriptions, maintenance contracts, security systems, or telecommunications—can solve problems or improve operations.
