IT enabled salesman

Being a graduate from a two tier business school, Sales is the most probable profile that anyone will get. Low level marketing is also one of the prominent profile which are normally been offered to  grads like us. But then there is lot of fuss regarding these kind of profiles among the passing grads.
Possible reasons ?                                          
Less salary !
Not good image about the profile !
Tough job !
So, whatever may be the reason for not accepting these job profiles that changes from person to person and perceptions to perceptions.
Why are biz grads who are sales person are not in same pay scale as others are. Rule of thirty times profit to company Vs employee salary is not applicable everywhere. How about grads who have good IT skills and can do brand management at his/her level. In my view, a person utilizing all IT skills can do more, faster and better business than  a normal marketing guy. Using technology, salesman can also manage client relations, do advertising, promote brand awareness and do a lot more things easily and effectively rather than going, meeting and delivering a sales pitch every time.
So guys, roll up your sleeves and harness IT skills and make companies to pay you more by smart working.

  1. I understand preoccupied thought. Think about branding yourself before branding for someone else. Does that ring a bell?
