Any company that sells a product requires a skilled sales force. The sales manager is the individual in charge of directing and coordinating that sales team. From hiring and training to day-to-day monitoring, the manager collaborates closely with each sales team manager. 

He or she must be a leader who can inspire and motivate others. They frequently progress to management as former salesmen who have demonstrated not just exceptional sales skills, but also a penchant for problem solving and the ability to get along with coworkers. 

Employers seek degrees in marketing, management, or a field connected to their sector. A bachelor's degree in engineering or science, combined with a master's degree in business administration, is useful in highly technological businesses such as computer and electronics production. 

Sales managers require current computer skills to assist them in doing tasks ranging from market research to recording and analysing sales data and statistics. While most occupations are spent in the office, others demand travel. 

Sales may be a demanding profession. Managers must be able to handle demand from senior executives seeking more earnings as well as pressure from sales people, who are frequently under pressure to please their clients. 

The remuneration of a manager is frequently linked to profitability and may include bonuses as well as a proportion of overall sales. As a result, managing a larger crew usually equates to higher pay. Many company presidents began their careers as sales managers, which is one of the most direct roads to success in the corporate world.
