Sales and account managers are crucial to the success of any business. They are responsible for building and maintaining relationships with clients, generating revenue, and driving growth. Sales managers are responsible for overseeing the sales team, setting targets, and developing strategies to achieve them. They work closely with account managers to ensure that clients are satisfied and that their needs are being met.

One of the primary roles of a sales manager is to develop and implement sales strategies. They analyse market trends, identify opportunities, and develop plans to increase revenue. They also work closely with the marketing team to develop campaigns that will attract new customers and retain existing ones.

Account managers, on the other hand, are responsible for managing relationships with clients. They work closely with clients to understand their needs and develop solutions that meet those needs. They are responsible for ensuring that clients are satisfied with the products or services they receive and that their expectations are met.

Sales and account managers also play an important role in managing budgets and forecasting revenue. They work closely with finance teams to ensure that revenue targets are met and that expenses are managed effectively.

Working as an Account Manager or Sales Manager give you great earning potential as generally these roles come with a commission or bonus structure. 

In sales you have many networking opportunities to build relationships with industry professionals and gain valuable connections.
