What is it like working for a sales and marketing firm?
Anyone here have an insight on what it is like to work for a sales and marketing firm? Is it difficult to handle multiple accounts? Are these legitimate companies in general?
I am wondering if this a good place for me to start in order to gain the management experience they are offering with the jobs they advertise.
Thank you in advance.
Instead of a sales firm, I would recommend working for a sales organization (a sales team within a company offering a product or service, such as software). As a sales person, I can tell you that sales is a terrific field, if you work for the right company. A good company will pay you very well, give you flexibility to manage your accounts and understand that not everything is within your control. A bad company will not pay you well, lie, micromanage you and treat you like a drone (there is no way to tell what way a company will be unless you do your homework by speaking to employees of the company in advance, or have been there for some time). Sales is a job where you usually change companies often, since products change and sometimes it takes trying a few companies before you find the right fit for you.
Regarding quantity of accounts, the true answer is, it depends. If you sell a complex product, you’ll only need a couple of large accounts. If you are organized and hard working and sell a commodity, you can manage several dozen accounts or more. Regardless, the key is organization (keeping a good calendar, keeping track of commitments), prioritization (knowing where to spend your time and what to focus on, since there is not time for everything) and commitment (it can be a demanding and up-and-down job).
Is sales a way to move into management? Definitely. Successful sales people who work well with people often are provided numerous opportunities to move up the chain. The bottom line is sales is a great opportunity to make a terrific amount of money, whether or not you’re in management. Good luck!
I’m a recent grad, majoring in sales/marketing, what’s the best way to get into my field?
As I said, Im a recent grad with a concentration in sales and marketing. I need to get my foot in the door but the position would have to have at least some type of salary or compensation other than commission. I heard about Edward Jones and other financial planning companies…What would be the best way for me to get my career started?
The best way to get your foot into the door would be to find various marketing seminars, conferences, local meet up groups of similar professions within the same field of interest.
Once you locate and join these groups participate in them by going to them and networking with others there. Only professionals who are passionate about the industry and where it’s going show up to these kinds of events which in turn makes it look good on your resume when you join to put down.
Before going to these meetings be sure to make contact cards which have your contact information on them such as a profession email, name and contact numbers.
Attending these seminars or groups you will note that there are people from all different industries within the same marketing/sales space as you which will provide you with an additional insight as to what industry you may find interesting.
Be sure to communicate and discuss about opportunities with the members there when networking time is provided.
Hope this helps.

Question for young women who work in business, sales, marketing, finance type of jobs?
Are you pretty much only attracted to guys who have typical business/sales/marketing/finance personalities (i.e., extremely personable and social, aka "talkers")? Or might you also potentially be attracted to the stereotypical engineer type (somewhat more introverted and reserved but still very intelligent, aka "do’ers")? Do you have a general preference one way or the other?
I much prefer the do’ers. More down to earth and complete opposite of me. Im attracted to rough necks.
