Salespeople and representatives are professionals who are constantly on the move, whether on a business trip or meeting with a customer. This profession can greatly benefit from using iPad as a work tool. Notebooks are big, books take up space and generate tremendous weight to carry, which a salesperson or dealer needs mobility, in this regard the iPad number 1.
Some of the best apps for salespeople and representatives to manage their sales, their contacts, and I also suggest a way to use your iPad and eliminate the use of a computer once and for all.
Two elements that I consider critical to the success of a seller or representative using an iPad are Pages as a word processor and Apple's iPad External Keyboard. These two elements will allow the salesperson to perform his duties as if using a computer, can write his business proposals and save them to PDF, so that nothing can be modified by the customer.
Apps for Sellers and Sales Representatives:

In the daily rush of the salesperson or sales representative working with an iPad can become a real asset, remembering that notebooks weigh and occupy tremendous space, the iPad a complete tool that offers almost everything you need from the factory. a salesperson to work with, for example, App Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Safari, iBooks, etc.

IBooks is a very interesting App for free and gives sellers and representatives the ability to neatly store the PDF documents they receive as a result of their work (catalogs, products, etc.).
I also left a GPS app, which is very useful for iPad Wi-Fi + 3G users, representatives who take the road now will have no problem finding the destination or following the right path.
A very interesting way to use iPad as a seller is the purchase of Bento, where you can store all the products you sell with a lot of quality information.
