Hi. Sales experience is more important than technical experience. I have been call up by quite a few company. All different product. But the main thing they looking for is what is your customer industry. If you like to be in sales industry, join sales straight. Sales only need little general knowledge on the product. After closing sales, rest is done by application engineer. But be inform that the car allowance is around 500-1000. And now the car price is quite..... ( u should get my meanong on this part. ). When joining a company, check on the car allowance, commission scheme, bonus scheme etc.
