Internet skills may be an extension of computer skills, but they’re key to being a good sales employee. Even if the position you’re applying for doesn’t explicitly involve conducting sales online, such abilities are helpful to have.
For instance, sales employees must be internet-savvy to conduct relevant research, network with leads, and share information with colleagues.
Being able to navigate the internet is, without a doubt, one of the top sales skills.
