dear friends,

i am presently considering to move to canada. I am a sales manager with HCL infosystems Ltd. here in gujarat, i handle PC desktop sales both retail and corporate.

can your forum give me some insight into the IT sales field for indians in canada ?

warm regards
tagnya

We have very strong IT sector in India. Technologywise are are much better than many of Canadian Companies. So theoritically you should not have any problem.

Having said that, I have one strong reservation. They way companies doing business here is much different than in India. As sales is an art (skill) rather than technic, you might need to cultivate that before you come here or may be wait for some time.

just a test

My advise is that you may want to work on your English accent.
This is a biggest hurdle for FOBs(fresh off the boat)
White people have hard time understanding desi english, particularly over the phone.
Especially, if you are into selling IT solutions to big companies, you need to be at par with the local whities in demonstations and presentations.
Listening to CNN will help you.
you'll find lot of n.american vocabulary in some of the posts here.

Average salary structure for IT sales jobs, entry-level & for persons with experience?

Tagnya, I am from Baroda, Gujarat having been in IT software sales & IT-enabled services for last 14 years. I am expecting visa for Canada soon.
