Müügimees is an Estonian term that translates to "salesman" or "salesperson." It refers to an individual whose primary role is to sell goods or services. This profession encompasses a wide range of activities, from identifying potential customers and understanding their needs to presenting products or services, negotiating prices, and closing deals.

Müügimehed operate in various industries, including retail, wholesale, manufacturing, and services. Their work can involve direct customer interaction in stores, on the road visiting clients, or through remote channels like phone and online platforms. The specific responsibilities of a müügimees can vary depending on the company, the product or service being sold, and the target market.

Key skills for a successful müügimees often include strong communication and interpersonal abilities, persuasive argumentation, product knowledge, and a good understanding of customer psychology. They are typically driven by targets and commissions, aiming to meet or exceed sales quotas. The role requires resilience, adaptability, and a proactive approach to finding and converting leads. In modern business contexts, the term often encompasses both male and female professionals, with "müügipersonal" (sales personnel) or "müügiesindaja" (sales representative) being more gender-neutral alternatives.
