893 days ago - The modern day version of a door to door salesperson has grown to encompass much more than just pounding the pavement day after day in order to deliver the same trite sales pitch to unsuspecting strangers. Companies that rely on field-based sales staff are looking for employees who can sell not only a product, but also a company brand. The job descriptions now come with more than just the requirements for being a good public speaker, but also for someone who can build a solid relationship with customers. The plus side to these industry changes is that a job that was once considered undesirable has become much more sought after in recent years.
