I want to switch to sales and become a student of engineering cost. What preparations do I need to make?

The major of engineering cost is not popular in today's era, and from the feedback information in the past, its employment prospect is not very ideal. It is difficult to get the engineering cost major back if you want to switch to sales. After all, the differences between the two industries are too great. Forget professional skills. When communicating with people, it is much worse than people in the sales industry. However, as long as you work hard to do one thing, you can do it well, and you can also switch to sales. Before that, you need to make relevant professional preparations, mainly as follows.

The first point is psychological preparation. Students majoring in engineering cost are generally science students, and the words used in life may not be as measured as those of liberal arts students. And to do sales, we need to deal with customers for a long time, and we must achieve such an idea: customers are God. Because different people have different attitudes towards life, some customers are more difficult. When serving them, you will inevitably be complained or even abused by customers. At this time, you must learn to hold your breath and spit, at the same time try to smile at them, and don't stubbornly scold customers. Psychological preparation is more important than anything else, because it will directly affect your future career. As a project cost professional, this may be a bit difficult to accept.

The second point is the preparation of sales skills. From a professional engineering cost practitioner to a strange industry with almost no connection, we must know the relevant knowledge of this industry in advance. Because you have not received systematic training, you only need to know the knowledge of the sales work you want to engage in, whether it is in books, online videos, or from friends around you, and so on. These are the channels that let you have sales skills from scratch.

The third point is the preparation of communication relationship. The sales industry is concerned with the flow of a customer. The more customer resources you have, the farther you go in this industry, and the more your boss will value you. There is also the need for teamwork in the sales industry, and it is easy to "die" in this industry alone.

From an unrelated major to another industry, you face several times more pressure than others. Because you don't have any contacts in this sales industry, what you need is to break your shackles and accumulate customer resources. To accumulate customers, the first point is particularly important. You need to serve your customers well and make them feel trust and dependence on you.
