Administration of sales ( ADV ) representative

The main role of the sales administrator is to take care of the management of sales contracts and is a fundamental cog in a business. Its objective is to ensure the smooth running of the sales cycle: from receipt of the customer's order to its delivery to the designated place. Constantly at the heart of the trading movement, the sales administrator provides the interface between the customers, but also takes care of the financial and administrative side of the operations, by managing the invoicing system and the smooth running of the administrative processes with regard to credit notes, discounts or outstanding amounts of customers.

Thus, this profession is entirely versatile, and the harsh laws of the current market push companies to understand more and more closely the needs of their customers, hence the essential need for employees in the administration and supervision sector.
