In Germany, salaries in the field of sales and distribution jobs vary by position and region.
Many sales professionals have been trained in the commercial sector, for example as a salesman or woman in retail or wholesale and foreign trade. In addition, courses such as business administration or business psychology are advantageous. However, practical experience and networks in the industry are often more important than graduation.
After a few years of experience as a sales manager, you can, for example, move up to senior positions such as sales manager or sales manager, and you can also move into specialized areas such as key account management or international sales.
