In other words, you&#8217;ll be paid a percentage of the sales you make. Some sales jobs are base salary plus commission, which means you&#8217;ll get a fixed salary plus a commission based on sales. In either case, the percentage varies depending on the job and the individual company.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese sales job <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/market\/\" title=\"View all posts in market\" >market<\/a> is much different than the West. Multi-level <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/marketing\/\" title=\"View all posts in marketing\" >marketing<\/a>, or MLM, is very common in China. MLM is a system in which you recruit other salespeople to expand your sales force. You get a percentage of the sales made by the people you recruit.<\/p>\n<p>This is very different from the sales job market in Western countries. In Western countries, you&#8217;ll find salespeople at retail stores, car dealerships, and in other similar sales positions. <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/in-china\/\" title=\"View all posts in In China\" >In China<\/a>, retail is a small percentage of the sales market. You&#8217;ll find most Chinese sales jobs in the B2B market.<\/p>\n<p>The B2B market is where companies sell to other companies. For example, a manufacturer can sell a product to a wholesaler. The wholesaler will then sell the product to retailers. The retailers will sell the product to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one possible example of a B2B transaction. There are countless others. Even services can be sold B2B. A company can sell <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/accounting\/\" title=\"View all posts in accounting\" >accounting<\/a> services to another company.<\/p>\n<p>In Chinese sales jobs, you&#8217;ll find that the majority of your work is cold calling.

You&#8217;ll want to call companies that you think may be interested in your product.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in the sales process is to get the attention of the person you&#8217;re calling.
