There are routes into sales for both university graduates and school leavers. You are more likely to need a degree for a sales executive role within a technical or medical field – and this may need to be relevant to the industry. For example, a subject related to science or medicine could be needed for a sales executive job in the medical or pharmaceutical field. For less specialist areas, if a degree is desirable it is very likely that any subject will be acceptable.
Some big companies in industries such as IT and consumer goods run sales graduate schemes, for which you will probably need a in any subject – although some may prefer related subjects. The in-depth understanding of sales gained through these schemes could set you up well for many different sales careers, including sales executive and/or more senior positions.
Whether you’re starting out in a graduate scheme or entry-level role, having some experience of working in a customer-facing environment is likely to be crucial. There are plenty of options for this: perhaps you could get a part-time position in retail or telesales, or carry out an internship in sales.
