Hi Everyone,

I am currently looking for a sales job in Spain, preferably in either Madrid or Barcelona although other areas would definately be considered.
I currrently work for BT in the UK as a Premium Account Manager and before that I worked for 3 Mobile as a Sales Associate / Sales Driver. I also have sales experience from other jobs that I have held.
I have seen some jobs advertised for Investment Sales and this is definately something that interests me a great deal however from reading information on various forums I definately do not just want to jump into the wrong company.
I would only need to provide my current employer with a 1 week notice period and would be willing to move out immediately after that.

If anyone has any positions available or if you could advise on the best place to start I would really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Chris Hales

You don’t mention whether you speak Spanish or not - this will make a big difference to your job prospects and earnings.

Hi,
I am currently in the process of learning Spanish however I am far from fluent. I know many people that have worked in Spain previously without being totally fluent however I am still studying hard to become fluent myself.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say thanks for the help. I now have a job in Marbella as a fractional property broker and I am in the process of trying to get everything sorted for my move.

Thanks again

Chris

Is it one of those people who are really friendly until they realise you don`t want/can`t afford the product there selling, then they put the phone down on you.

I get them constantly everyday, one of the benefits of being the boss.

On Wednesday I get the call from some guy, “How are you today Sir, can I call you Santiago”  then how is my day conversation, then the sell “We`ve got a one of promo today blah blah blah”

So e mail the details I say.

I will and I`ll call you back tommorrow.

Today is 3 days later, I`ve no E Mail or contact form my new friend.

But I`m currently playing with my new Blackberry that I found myself on a cheaper tariff and low buying cost than my friend couldn`t be bothered supplying.

I love sales ars8990es.

One of the responsibilities of being the boss is to sell whatever it is you do. I hope your customers are a little more understanding when you are selling. I would still like Chris to say for himself what it is he does when he starts brokering.

I don`t cold sell.

I have more respect for myself and my clients.

I also don`t lick butt, I`m not making so little that I need too.
