A technical sales representative works for a company that specializes in technology-related products. Your job duties are to promote services the company offers and showcase tech products, both software or hardware. You are also responsible for reporting market findings to regional managers or your immediate superiors. As a technical sales representative, you don’t necessarily need formal education for qualifications, but some companies require it. You do need strong sales skills and must be knowledgeable about technology, and in particular, what your parent company offers. You need to be able to explain complex concepts in simple terms to users. If you have prior sales experience, it helps to further your career.
