A. order getter
B. order taker
C. public relations specialist
D. missionary salesperson
E. copywriter
Answer: (B) Salespersons are classified as being order getters, order takers, or missionaries. A department store salesperson who performs a cashier's role is essentially involved in taking orders (B) from customers. The salesperson is not actively soliciting orders (A) nor is that person helping other sales personnel complete an order (D). A PR specialist is far removed from any sales-oriented task, so (C) is incorrect. A copywriter is one who writes copy for advertisements, so (E) too is incorrect.
