Description
These professionals' main aim is to sell products related to household appliances (which are divided into two categories, large, or major, and small).
Within the overall category of large household appliances, a distinction is drawn between the following two groups: white goods and brown goods. White goods usually include washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, ovens, tumble dryers, cooking appliances, extractor fans and ventilation appliances, air conditioning and heating appliances and heaters, among others. As for brown goods, products on sale generally include televisions, audio and video players, DVD players, Hi-Fis, home cinema systems, mobile telephones, etc.
The most common small household appliances (SHA) are irons, vacuum cleaners, microwaves, small heaters, fans, coffee machiners, toasters, electric razors, hairdryers, etc.
The vast majority of these products require specialised technical advice. Technical sales consultants explain and sell products, and must reach or surpass the sales targets set, following the processes laid out by the organisation. Equally, they must ensure maximum customer satisfaction, offering them advice within the area assigned to them.
These professionals usually report to the store manager or section manager.
