Sales Representative

To be successful in sales in the forest products industry, you must be driven, disciplined and focused. You will be expected to plan daily sales activities and to seek out sales through cold calls, door-to door contact, networking and marketing e­fforts. As a sales representative, you will also be expected to have a solid understanding of the forest products industry and the innovative products it produces. Depending on the company you work for, you may have the opportunity to travel across Canada and internationally. But many sales representatives have smaller territories that allow them to come home at the end of each day. Working as a sales rep opens up the opportunity to move up to supervisory, managerial or even executive positions.
