Technical Sales Representative Job Description

A technical sales representative is an individual who has experience working within a specific technological field.

Technical sales representatives create, explain, and sell products.

A technical sales representative doesn’t sell products per se, but products that you use in your job.

For example, they might sell computers to engineers, inventory software to manufacturers, or transportation software to logistics managers.

They may or may not be required to know the technical aspects of each product they sell.

Technical sales representatives can work with many different industries, but they usually have a strong understanding of the technical field they specialize in.
