Sales to Service

Inquiry: I have figured out I enjoy Servicing Accounts more than starting new ones but I am stuck in a Sales Position… How do I get my company to understand that I want to transition from Sales to Customer Service?

Response: Being stereotyped after succeeding in Sales can be stifling.

Ensure your roles on your resume and profiles assume Servicing & Consulting Ability and Goals. Mention Past Accomplishments where your Service outweighed your initial sale. Talk about how you know how to Save Customer Accounts due to your sensitivity to peoples desires to be “taken care of” and not “sold”.
