If you're the type who's friendly, interested in other countries, and awesome at making super-convincing arguments, you might like working as an international sales representative. In this job, you'd focus on attracting overseas customers and have three key goals: Identify possible clients, get them to buy things by making your product sound totally fabulous (called "pitching"), and ensure that they keep coming back for more. (Shoes, software, and electronics are just a few examples of things an international sales rep might be trying to peddle.) It's essential that you're able to communicate well, both in writing and in person, since in sales you often have to make your case quickly. And naturally it doesn't hurt to be fluent in another language. Once a customer decides to make a purchase, you'd also be involved in little details like writing up their contract and setting up delivery. Traveling and schmoozing with clients (often over fancy lunches) are two nice perks to working in international sales. But whether or not people are in a buying mood is directly affected by a country's economy, and if you work on commission (meaning your earnings are tied to what you sell), this can directly affect your salary.
