topic： ups

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with direct feedback on what it is like to work in a professional selling position. I have a number of contacts at UPS, as well as some students that graduated within the last 2 years and are working in sales positions.

Here is a list of questions that you will need to ask. Additionally, you need to create 2 (or more) questions of your own that would help you better understand this profession.

1. What is it that you enjoy most about being in B2B sales?
2. What was your reason for selecting this profession and this firm?
3. What is your typical day like?
4. How do you handle rejection or being turned down for a sale?
5. What are your opportunities for advancement?

You then select your other 2 questions of your own. Try to think of something that might be important to you (travel, co-workers, training, office time, etc.).

For the paper, summarize the responses and then add a section on your reflections. Your reflection should be anywhere between a half to a full page. Discuss anything that you found relevant, surprising, or informative, and comment on whether or not this might be a career path for you.

2-3 pages
