Let's be honest, you didn't just graduate a grueling 2-4 year Advertising, Marketing or Economics program expecting to start your career in entry level sales. But did you know that sales is one of the BEST entry level opportunities out there for recent graduates looking to build up their professional skillset and to make more than the expected entry level salary without the typical 1-2 years of working experience?

It's true. In an entry level sales job you get:

• Transferable skills - you will develop desirable career skills on the job that are useful and exchangeable across so many different industries - giving you the chance to move your career in the direction you wish.
• Great earning potential – the ability to earn commissions and bonuses on top of your regular hourly and annual pay rate (so you can pay back those student loans faster)
• Freedom - to structure your own day and manage your own time, whether you are in the office or out on the road meeting clients or prospects.
• To meet a wide variety of people – a career in sales provides the opportunity to meet a variety of people from internal stakeholders to product developers/suppliers to clients. It is almost a guarantee that each day you will talk to someone new, from a different walk of life that will teach you something interesting you didn't already know. As a salesperson, you create yourself a great career network that will provide vast career opportunities.
• Continual learning - from the vast networks of people you will meet to the continual changes in areas that impact your job, like the economy and technology, you'll never get time to feel uninspired to “stuck” in the details.
• Satisfaction – whether it's through closing your first sale, beating a record, the acknowledgement of a job well done or a great big paycheck – the personal satisfaction that provides self-confidence and pride is bar none.

So if you've got an associates, bachelors or master's degree and are looking to one day work at the next big PORTLAND Ad Agency, Marketing/Finance Firm or perhaps even form your own start-up, then try spending the next 12-18 months working with us at FUTURE 1ST MARKETING as a Junior Sales Account Representative and let us help you develop the skill set and confidence you'll need to land the job of your dreams!
