Add Value To My Job

Posted by Anonymous on 2/6/2004 at 10:04 PM ET 50 Points
Dear All,
I worked as sales coordinator about 3 months experiences. Previously I worked as Admin Asst for 3 years so I actually not very familiar with marketing or sales job. My company is doing rental & sales of equipment such as generator, air compressor, lighting tower. For more information please visit my company website:

My main duties are helping my manager & sales executives to do paperwork such as preparing quotation, write rental order, off hire, handling enquires, take memo when meeting, prepare product materials etc. Consider quite a simple job and not really learn much. However, I hope I can add value to my job & take more responsibilities. Please suggest the way that can I can improve a lot such as:
1) Where I can do e-learning that really provide me a lot of useful information to update myself?
(the website better is F.O.C for learning )
2) How to write in proper English correspondence letters? I try to search for some references but not really useful for me.
3) How can I practice myself become a professional? Anything that I should take note?
4) What actually Sales Coordinator job duties?
5) Do u think that my current position have a lot of opportunities to learn much?
Thanks for spending time to read my question. Have a nice day!

    Well first of all you can find a TON of e-learning here on Marketingprof.com. Just click through the articles from the home page to research and learn about different topics.

    I also suggest a site: https://searchengineformarketers.com
    They have a comprehensive database on almost every topic regarding the marketing industry.

    As far as writing in proper English, here's a link to a plethora of English learning sites: https://dir.yahoo.com/Social_Science/Linguistics_and_Human_Languages/Langua...

    If you wish, I would be glad to assist you and perhaps author some form letters in professional English format for you to use.

    Becoming a "professional"...the term is rather subjective. Traditionally, Professionalism is defined as the standing, practice, or methods of a professional, as distinguished from an amateur. A professional is typically defined as a person who is expert at his or her work. Professionalism will come naturally as you educate yourself.

    To make it simple, I would follow the guideline or "formula" below:

    Knowledge + Common Courtesy + I/E ( Intellect over Emotion...in other words, don't let your emotions take over your intellect when dealing with difficult clients or associates) = Professionalism.

    Job titles are tossed about like candy. Your duties are usually defined by your employer...no matter what the title.

    EVERY position in the corporate world has opportunity. It may not be in the form of advancement or wealth, but rather experience. Take advantage of your current position to learn as much as you can. This will prepare you to be later qualified to handle positions of higher caliber.

    Good Luck!
