SALES AGENT (SA)
JOB TITLE: SALES AGENT (SA)
DEPARTMENT: SALES
AREA: OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION:
The Sales Agent constitutes the operational base of the commercial structure and is the direct point of contact with potential customers. Their main function is to execute the sales activities for products, policies, and supplementary products offered by the company, following the guidelines, scripts, and processes established by the organization.
They are responsible for the correct execution of the entire commercial process, from receiving calls to the effective closing and complete documentation of each sale. A distinctive characteristic of their role is the meticulous handling of customer information and documentation, creating and maintaining digital folders structured according to corporate standards, which helps avoid reprocessing and ensures that each commercialization meets all necessary requirements.
The SA must maintain constant learning and absorption of the qualities and best practices demonstrated by their superiors (FTA, SLA, and Satellite), showing the ability to implement feedback and continuously improve their performance.

Their daily tasks include call management, closing and following up on sales, customer service, obtaining new customers through the referral system, and collecting information to register users in the health market. For each customer, they must maintain detailed records with all necessary documentation, organized according to established protocols, thus facilitating the review and quality control processes by their supervisors.
