Working in the Industrial Industry
The industrial industry comprises companies that manufacture capital goods and/or machinery that are used in the production of other goods. The main objective of this sector is to produce goods, resources, and services that are indirectly beneficial to the end customer.
A salesperson in this industry must build strong relationships with C-Suite executives and senior leadership at companies in their target audience. The items being sold tend to be highly technical and expensive, so the purchasing decision takes time and planning.
