Sales, Marketing and Procurement Jobs

Behind the world of retail and shopping is a huge industry of people who get the word out, help people understand the goodness of a product of service, and choose what’s in the shops.

People in sales are needed to link customers with an employer’s products or services, and show them why they’re great. It’s about being able to excite people with your point of view and really understanding a product or service, so that people want to buy it or get involved.
Marketeers help spread the word in creative ways, from guest blogs to viral campaigns. Marketing is the art of communication and reaching out to people who will be most interested in your company’s product or service.
