Sales Manager jobs in Singapore

While many departments in any sizable company will often claim to be the most crucial, it’s all too obvious that, without sales managers, the organisation itself simply wouldn’t survive. Whether you’re working in cars, computers, coffee or construction, if you can sell you’re likely to be in great demand. Corporations across South-East Asia are always looking for skilled and experienced sales specialists to help them stay one step ahead of their rivals.

You’ll find a great many reasons to want to work in sales in Singapore. Sales managers here are extremely well rewarded, with high salaries, impressive bonus packages and, often, a range of tempting results-based incentives. If you like a role that is appreciated, respected and highly prestigious, the next step on your career path could be in this vibrant, exciting location.

A complex skill set will always be needed

Successful candidates tend to be qualified, experienced, talented and able to point to an excellent track record in previous roles covering inside or outside sales. A background in any of a number of related jobs will help, including:

• Sales Executive
• Director of Sales
• Account Manager
• Business Development Specialist
• Inside Sales Executive
• Sales Consultant
• Director of Business Development
• Account Representative
• Account Executive

You’ll be expected to lead a team of sales staff, inspiring each individual to go the extra mile in order to achieve constant improvement. You’ll liaise with other departments, senior management, customers and others, and there will be times when you’ll feel there aren’t enough hours in the day. Sales, by its very nature, is a demanding discipline, but it’s one that brings with it some excellent rewards.

There are a number of qualities that a successful Sales Manager will need in the role, and many of them won’t be directly related to the sale itself. Managing your team in the optimum way will be important, so you’ll need to be a people person, a skilled leader who knows that each member of the team will invariably need to be handled differently. There’s far more to this than simply knowing how to sell a pen.
