Future Career Paths
Successful performance as a Sales Specialist can lead to three future career paths. Be prepared to discuss which of these paths feels like the best fit for you, and why, in the interview process.
Help build a sales team and be responsible for team sales goals.
Grow your impact by developing deeper specialization in particular products.
This is a great path if you know you'd like to run your own business with your own team, but currently lack the necessary experience or capital. You would seek your own agency (outside of markets our agency operates in) after a two to three-year mentorship program.
