What employers look forFrom the Yacht Sales Broker guide

Firms hire two types. Former crew, often chief officers, captains or engineers, who know the product and already know owners and captains. And sales people from luxury property, private banking or cars who bring a client book. Languages help a great deal. Firms expect you to be presentable, discreet and comfortable talking about eight-figure sums. Some offices take juniors as sales assistants, handling listings data, viewings and paperwork.
