Put me in the spotlight in front business professionals and I will flourish. Put me on the phone to a prospective client and I will organize a meeting with them. Put me in front of a client who wants to order 10 of your company’s product and I will persuade him to order twice as much. But put paperwork and administrative duties in front of me and I wont be able to cope. Does this sound like you?
If you answered yes, well your not alone! Most salespeople and business development professionals struggle at coping with admin work. This part of the gig usually makes up 30% of a salesperson’s role, however some positions may require more time depending on the industry and the level of compliance required.
Despite this being shortfall of most people in sales, it is something that needs to be done and unfortunately wont go away. I for myself will admit this is something I need to work on in my personal development including having effective time management skills. There are sales roles out there that do not require much administrative work, just as long as you can talk the talk, you will be fine. However, there are some jobs like I mentioned earlier which require more of your working week dedicated to administrative duties,. These can include positions in semi Government companies and also roles where everything needs to be documented and compliance is king.
But if you find yourself in a sales role where you are struggling with the level of administration work required, then it is best to resign and find another role which you can sell and build business relationships till the cows come home and still be on top your admin work.
