What is a sales advisor?

A sales advisor provides customer support, typically in a retail environment. When a customer has questions about a particular product or service, the sales advisor offers relevant information to help the buyer decide how the company can best serve them. In non-retail environments such as banks, sales advisors create pamphlets and literature for prospective clients. Sales advisors need to stay current with all aspects of their company's sales, including keeping track of in-stock inventory.
