On the back of my CV there is an array of sales roles. From the age of 10, I’ve sold anything from salami sausages to razor blade subscriptions and energy contracts, spent numerous hours knocking doors, in call centers and chasing people on the high street. I always encourage young people to start working in sales and service roles early on; you’ll develop skills you’ll use for the rest of your life.
