  So you want a job where you get paid great but don't want to put any work into answering your own questions… I'm sure this will work out great for you.

  Sounds like you need to use google to do research in order to help yourself out.

  I think these kind of sales people can sometimes be very physically attractive and charismatic. My local Optus store, all the sales people are women who are uncannily stacked.

    "sometimes"?

    "physically attractive" and "charismatic" are prerequisites for sales. The only prerequisites, in fact.

      Only face to ……. assuming it is then correct.

  An ability to BS fluently and be able to back up long boozy lunches with long boozy dinners :)

  Any salesman/woman that's spent a few years in retail can easily slip into the role. Basically you're there to form a relationship first then get them to buy into your pharmaceutical/tech crap whatever it is.

  There's a reason top performing account managers/sales are all attractive and charismatic.

  What kind of jobs are you looking at?

  Retail tech sales as in Harvey Norman / Medical sales as in sales in a chemist?

  or, on the road sales, selling computer/software solutions b2b or medical equipment to hospitals etc.

  There's a world of difference between the two. In the latter, a lot of difference between companies styles.

  It might be useful to provide some more info.

  1. Where are you at now - High School/University/Working? What qualifications do you have?
  2. How did you decide tech or medical? What kind of tech - hardware/software/biotech? What kind of medical - devices/pharma/drugs? What kind of sales b2b/b2c?

  For all those people saying you need to get some breast implants/teeth whiting and possibly a new liver in a few years, yes, all those things will work in some sales fields - typically b2c - cars/real estate/retail, but they might be completely useless for anything technical like software or medical hardware.

  Working conditions?

  The worst possible to the point that anything else you do cannot possibly be worse or so bad that you will do anything it takes to succeed.

  If you want to be GOOD at what you do, expect a full time plus more commitment to become very good. That applies to mostly everything.

  You don't really see part time concert pianists….

  I know this is exactly your question but if you are going to get into something, be good at it.
