One of those jobs is a career in telecom sales. For the right person, telecom sales can be the opportunity to enjoy financial security again - even financial freedom and job security - during the credit crunch. There are three reasons that a telecom sales job is the right job in this economy.
1. Telecom solutions are ALWAYS in demand so you have the job security that others do not enjoy. People might cut back on paying for entertainment; they might buy fewer clothes; they might take fewer trips; they might buy lower quality food; but they will continue to use mobile phones. You know it's true for consumers. It's also true for businesses. Organizations that want to get their sales staff into the marketplace might save money by scaling down office expenses; they might stop the so called perks; but they need their sales staff to be connected. And that requires telecom solutions.
As a telecom sales consultant, your job would be to meet in-demand needs from businesses that know they require telecom solutions to survive and thrive. You would be the expert, guiding them in their decision-making to help them discover the best plan for their needs. Unlike other sales positions, like many retail positions, this is an opportunity for trusted, respected business-to-business (B2B) solution selling. With every interaction, you build job security as business clients come to trust you to help them succeed.
2. Telecom sales are commission-based, so you're not stuck earning a salary that puts a cap on your earning potential. Along with job security from the increasing trust you generate, you can also enjoy financial success. Financial success is one of those common phrases that job-seekers hear so frequently it becomes laughable. Sadly, many of those claims come out of low-paying call center jobs that demand a pound of flesh from their employees and provide little respect or actual remuneration in return.
Telecom sales, though, can offer real financial success. That's because it's not a call centre job or a retail job in which your pay depends on who answers the phone or who comes into the store. If you want ten customers, you secure ten customers. If you want a hundred customers, you secure a hundred customers. There's no income cap or ceiling - the commission you earn from your efforts is yours and if you want a lot of money you can get it.
This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. As a commission-based sales consultant, the only limit you place on your income is yourself. If you think you'll fail, it becomes a distinct possibility. But if you are confident that you'll succeed, and earn the money you deserve by actively going into the marketplace and finding those customers, you can succeed - even far more than you imagine.
3. Telecom sales can fit into your life. Sometimes you hear about people having to take on a low-paying part-time job to supplement their current full-time one. It might be the right choice for some people who have lost the job security they once had; or perhaps a spouse has lost a job and the income needs to be made up somehow. This is where a telecom sales position is beneficial. Unlike directing traffic or restocking shelves, telecom sales can be the perfect part time solution. Because you are commission based, your time is virtually your own, which means your success is also.
I am proud to say i am in Telecom Sales,So when are you planning to join hands with me!!!!!!!!

SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis helps you balance idealism and pragmatism, and obtain a balanced perspective of your internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats to develop an effective strategy.
Why SWOT Analysis?
SWOT Analysis is the Key Component of Strategic Development. It can prompt actions and responses.
Successful businesses build on their strengths, correct their weaknesses and protect against internal vulnerabilities and external threats. They also keep an eye on their overall business environment and spot and exploit new opportunities faster than competitors. SWOT analysis is a tool that helps many businesses in this process.
SWOT analysis is based on the assumption that if managers can carefully review such strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, a useful strategy for ensuring organizational success will become evident to them.
Strengths
Two factors contribute to your strengths: ability and resources available.
Ability is evaluated on 3 counts:
Versatility: your ability to adapt to an ever changing environment.
Growth: your ability to maintain a continuing growth.
Markets: your ability to penetrate or create new markets.
The strength of resources has three dimensions:
Availability: your ability to obtain the resources needed.
Quality: the quality and up-to-dateness of the resources employed.
Allocation: your ability to distribute resources both effectively and efficiently.
Weaknesses
Your weaknesses are determined through failures, defeats, losses and inability to match up with the dynamic situation and rapid change. The weaknesses may be rooted in lack of managerial skills, insufficient quality, technological backwardness, inadequate systems or processes, slow deliveries, or shortage of resources. There are three possible outcomes to the analysis of your weaknesses.1
Correction of an identified defect.
Protection through cover-up and prevention strategies to reduce the exposure of your weaknesses.
Aggression to divert the attention from your weaknesses.
Opportunities
Opportunities are abundant. You must develop a formula which will help you define what comes within the ambit of an opportunity to focus on those areas and pursue those opportunities where effectiveness is possible. The formula must define product/service, target market, capabilities required and resources to be employed, returns expected and the level of risk allowed.
Weaknesses of your competitions are also opportunities for you. You can exploit them in two following ways:
Marketing warfare: attacking the weak leader's position and focusing all your efforts at that point, or making a surprise move into an uncontested area.
Collaboration: you can use your complementary strengths to establish a strategic alliance with your competitor.
Threats
External threats arise from political, economic, social, technological (PEST) forces. Technological developments may make your offerings obsolete. Market changes may result from the changes in the customer needs, competitors' moves, or demographic shifts. The political situation determines government policy and taxation structure.

Reasons to Quit Your Job
You've done everything you can to make your current job work. But, your current job is not working. These are the reasons why you might want to quit your current job. These are difficult, if not impossible, to solve. You need to look out for your best interests. Your job consumes too many hours of too many days of your life for you to stay where you are miserable. No excuses, now. If these issues exist with your job, make a plan, and change jobs.
* Your company is experiencing a downward spiral, losing customers, losing money, and rumors of possible closure, bankruptcy and failure prevail.
* Your relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair. You have sought help to mend the boss relationship but you know it is too damaged for recovery. (Perhaps you were untrustworthy, missed work on too many days, or the manager acts like an untrustworthy jerk.) Whatever the reason, the relationship is irrecoverably damaged.
* Your life situation has changed. Perhaps you have married or had a baby, and the salary and benefits no longer support your life needs. You need to move on to better opportunities to support your family.
* Your values are at odds with the corporate culture. Perhaps your company is egalitarian and you believe in assigned parking spots for salaried employees. Your company does annual employee satisfaction surveys and you think these are a waste of time. Your company is hierarchical and you want to influence every aspect of your job. No matter where the clash is occurring, a lack of congruence with the corporate culture will destroy your attitude at work.
* You've stopped having fun and enjoying your job. No matter what changed, when you dread going to work in the morning, it's time to leave your job.
* Your company is ethically challenged. Perhaps, the managers lie to customers about the quality of the products or the day on which product will ship. You become aware that the company is stealing information from competitors. Whatever the issue, don't stay in an organization where your ethics are out of sync.
* For whatever reason, you have behaved in ways that are considered improper at work. You've missed too many days of work, slacked off on the job, failed to maintain needed skills and just generally developed the reputation of a loser. That reputation, once earned, is unlikely to change, so you might as well move on, while you have the opportunity.
* You've burned your bridges with your co-workers. Your group is not getting along in an environment that requires people to work together well. Again, at some point, the reasons don't matter; start fresh in a new job and resolve to not let this situation happen again.
* Your stress level is so high at work that it is affecting your physical or mental health and your relationships with your friends and family. Watch for the signs of burnout and if they can't be cured, move on. Read this article, Tips for Managing Stress and Change at Work for some ideas about managing work stress.
* you are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization. You've explored the current and potential options, and they are limited. It's time to move on.
Ready to quit your job? You can resign from your job in a way that reinforces your professional image and keeps current employer relationships positive.
