customer Service Representative acting as sales person

Why not organization separate this two departments, customer service representative and sales representative, rather than making one person do both, this would affect efficiency towards customers satisfaction and lead conversation.

A person with the skills of both roles would certainly be a great asset. Not only could they foresee what servicing needs might arise later on (and which they'd be responsible for), they would also experience the perfect handover between sales and service -- due to it being handled by the same person.

I can also downsides, such as the customer service representative having to be available when service is needed which might conflict with sales schedules (making calls, follow-ups at specific times etc). This would be hard to resolve, if one person needs to choose between making more revenue and retaining revenue and being responsible for both.

In reality, the biggest challenge is to find people who are skilled in either role. Finding someone who excels at both is a lot harder, I would say.

Best regards!
