I have been offered a job as a sales representative for a start up furniture company. This company is a Chinese furntiure manufacturer and supposedly has had success in China and Europe. The name of the company is Sunny Century. I have been in sales before but know nothing of furniture industry sales. I will be working for the first time in the company's showroom at the High Point Furniture Market. I would like to know as much as possible about Sunny Century in China. I would also like to know about a career as a manufacturer's sales rep specifically in the furniture industry. Is there extensive travel? Do retailers and wholesalers do most of their purchases at the bi-annual markets or do they expect their sales reps to visit them throughout the year? Also, how can I find out if the company has the ability to actually pay me. All I have is a website, an address in California, two contact names and telephone numbers. I also have the contact info for the office in China. I would also like someone to help me with tips on how to sell at market. Do they just come and browse the showrooms like consumer shoppers? Do they buy one item or several to stock in their stores? I am clueless but quick to learn and excited. |

HI, Are you already in the High Point area? I expect that you have already seen all the websites with Sunny Century (including craigslist advertising for jobs in High Point). If you go to the complex, you can get your own impression by watching and talking to people, buyers and salespersons, also in Sunny Centuries store. Even if you have already signed a contract, you can act as though you are still just considering the job and ask a salesperson about his job. You might also ask about training and information on the company and how long it has been at High Point. Customers will have similar questions about a Chinese company's ability to deliver (similar to yours about whether it can pay you). You also might get an impression of customer interest for the products. If there is not much, ... hmm, well? High Point seems like a place where one could get an idea of a supplier's market penetration. This is not an "answer" to your question, and certainly no answer to some parts of it. Good luck, Myoarin |
