Agents need to possess in-depth knowledge of the products they represent, as well as an understanding of the target markets and customer needs. They also require strong communication and negotiation skills, as well as a robust network of contacts within the relevant industries. Additionally, agents may rely on various tools and technologies, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems and sales analytics platforms, to support their activities.
