Meeting
client needs and supporting our customers through collaborative relationships
is at the heart of every aspect of Sodexo's business. We seek to uncover what's
important to our customers and the needs of their business so that we can
tailor solutions that will impact their bottom line. For example, if we can
improve their customer ratings or employee satisfaction and engagement by
providing services to support their core business, we contribute to their
overall success.
"Because
of this, it's important for us to really understand the customer and their
needs, to have a passion for the customer and the deliverables we can offer,
and to possess considerable experience in customer service," said Ferris.
"And, given the breadth of Sodexo's business, sales executives at our
company also need to have a multi-service background with an understanding of hard
and soft services, such as managing a capital equipment plant at a corporate
site versus janitorial services."
To
be successful in a Sodexo sales career, you must be self-directed with a strong
work ethic and have the ability to manage multiple processes simultaneously.
Excellent communication and negotiating skills, including collaborating with
the C-Suite, are extremely important.
Compensation
packages are highly rewarding and include a market-leading commission plan
directly tied to the individuals' success and ability to meet and exceed sales
goals. Successful Sales Executives are also positioned for a wide range of
career growth opportunities, such as a Senior Sales Director or a Vice
President of Operations.
Sodexo
is poised for growth. We have a proven track record of industry leadership. We
partner with businesses, hospitals, schools and universities to provide Quality
of Life Services that improve performance and create an outstanding experience
for the people we serve. As the 20th-largest employer in the world, we are
widely recognized as an Employer of Choice by Fortune
Magazine, Diversity Inc., GI Jobs and many more.

Before this semester I had never really thought about a Sales position. I am currently doing a sales internship and I love it! It's exciting to know I can combine my passion for Food & Beverage with sales to explore a new side of Sodexo.
Great to hear Rebecca!
