Selling Fire Safety in Flip-Flops

In this special episode of The Wurst Guide to Living in Austria, we team up with SPDL (Siemens Personaldienstleistungen GmbH) to explore a job many of us think we understand... until we actually meet the people doing it.

This time we're diving into the role of Junior Sales (m/w/d) Fire Safety.

What does a sales person at Siemens actually do all day?

How technical do you need to be?

What makes somebody good at sales?

And why does getting a signed contract feel a little bit like winning Olympic gold?

To find out, Gabriel and Jake turns up to Siemens City in Vienna - Jake wearing flip-flops (a decision he immediately is made to regret) - and meet sales expert Anja Rajic and then head to St. Pölten to speak with Fritz Treiber, Senior Sales Manager at Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings Area East.

Along the way we discover:

– Why sales is much more about people than products

– The skills that separate good sales people from great ones

– What it's really like starting a career at Siemens and their partners – Why "the sale before the sale" matters

– And why nobody should wear flip-flops to a customer meeting
