The UK Sales industry is covered by a large number of recruitment agencies, ranging from local high-street firms to market specialists. Due to the size of the sector, it's also not uncommon for large national recruiters to have a dedicated Sales division.
Sales jobs are available in countless industries and encompass a variety of professional interests. It is a career that requires strong social skills, charisma, excellent communication abilities, and a general commercial awareness. Most importantly, it involves networking and the ability to connect with the buyers of your products and services.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing, and the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management, are the two bodies that award Sales qualifications. Both institutions provide courses for professionals of all levels, and training ranges from theory to practical skills.
