What is a sales driver?

A sales driver provides additional sales and customer service support for a business. Their job duties include encouraging deal closure when they see the prospect of failure, trying to reduce the amount of time it takes to close a deal, and reducing the chance of the deal failing after the initial sales agreement. A sales driver deals with many people during the day, so qualifications include customer service and negotiation skills. Other qualifications for this career include job experience in the retail or sales industries, and the ability to keep track of sales and inventory concerns.
