Sales
Whether you are trying to sell a luxury car, life insurance, or a vacuum cleaner, sales is all about personal connection. When you choose a sales career, you can turn your love for talking into impressive commissions.
Successful sales professionals are able to earn the trust of their customers. It is important to connect with people, but it is even more important to be honest in your interactions.
If a customer feels like you are only trying to sell them something, instead of being concerned about their needs, you will likely lose the sale.
Real estate
Real estate is one of the most specialized areas of sales. Real estate agents work with clients who want to buy, sell, or rent properties. If you want to succeed in real estate, you have to be able to comfortably talk with many different types of people.
As any agent with an MU real estate degree will tell you, you might need to talk with a young professional one minute, and an elderly couple the next at an open house. Great real estate agents are also able to communicate clearly with other professionals.
Maintaining positive networking connections with appraisers, lawyers, home inspectors, general contractors, and other realtors will help you grow your business and keep your clients happy.
Broadcasting
A career in broadcasting allows you the potential to talk to millions of people at one time. There are numerous jobs available in television, radio, and other communication fields that require a solid speaking performance.
Whether you are hired to report news on the radio, interview people on television, or address concerns at a press conference, you must always be ready to communicate clearly and professionally to succeed in the broadcasting field. It can be difficult to break into some areas of broadcasting, so do not underestimate the power of interpersonal interactions.
You never know when a small interview or assignment can lead to something better, so be sure to give your best during every job.
These are just a few of the jobs that allow you to put your people skills and communication skills to good use. However, excellent communication skills will be an asset to you regardless of which career path you select.
