1 How much of what a technical sales representative in machinery and industrial equipment is expected to do is already part of a rental service representative in air transport equipment’s work.

What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A technical sales representative in machinery and industrial equipment role treats 10 of its required skills as things a rental service representative in air transport equipment already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
