Do you have any people skills? by that, i mean have you ever sold things? first off...know your items. Have as much knowledge as you can. or know how to find out.
second. Always be courteous. People will ask and demand the stupidest things, but keep a smile on your face at all times. Learn to write e-mails that are short but to the point.
Thirdly: Have a pleasant phone voice. Always be at least a bit cheery, not a grump. In all my years of sales, those that have the attitude do the best. People forgive alot but not a bad attitude.
Just be sure to know your product, have all information at your fingertips and be pleasant. That's about it.

no matter how much your boss pushes never sell bad stock to the big order customers as this might just be the one time you make them go to another wholesaler, and don't be afraid to voice your opinions because at the end of the day your name is the first thing a customer will remember, if stock is bad tell the boss you think the stock is bad any come backs after that you can say i told you so (but try to be polite no one likes a big head).
hope this helps

Sales is an awesome job. The first thing you sell is yourself. People must like your personality. Second is product knowledge, people admire and trust an expert. Third, be confident know that you can sell a Hawaiian a fur coat and an Eskimo a hula skirt! You are a sales pimp, you are the man! And always remember it's a numbers game, so do not be discouraged on the bad days. Read some books by Zig Ziglar too.
