What is a regional sales representative?

A regional sales representative sells products on behalf of a company throughout a particular region. As a regional sales representative, your job duties are to identify sales leads, collect information from leads and prospective clients, educate clients about your products, provide product demonstrations, and close sales deals. The qualifications for a career as a regional sales representative are a high school diploma or GED certificate and experience in sales. A college degree can help advance your career, but customer service and sales skills will be paramount throughout your work.
