B2B (Business to Business)sales are known for high profit but minimal sales volume. You may not sell many but profits from few can settle you for the year. Some companies hire their sales representative in contract basis while some hire them full-time. The companies that hire on part-time or contract basis, most times do not need to worry about monthly salaries and some other expenses associated with having a full-time employee. Full-time employers on the other hand, enjoy the benefit of fully supervising what their sales force are doing.

If B2B is your idea of marketing, you are required to know somethings about the concerned product or service. Getting a job as a B2B marketer is not always easy since the selling company will have to certify you as their representative.

Go and help out an uncle or brother that has a registered business. Help him to sell and acquire the experience. Make sure you take note of your sales achievements periodically and quote it on your CV. Set targets for yourself and strive to improve.Why must it be a registered company?
