Sales specialist with a federal certificate: What are the disadvantages of this training?

Sales specialists perform management functions in internal or external sales. They manage a department or relieve sales management of controlling, project and coordination tasks, are responsible for building and maintaining customer relationships in key accounts and support sales management in day-to-day operations.

The most important disadvantages of training as a sales specialist with a federal certificate are

1. As training to become a sales specialist with a federal certificate usually takes place alongside work, the time budget must be well managed.
2. The degree is not yet known when applying to foreign employers, which can be a disadvantage. University degrees are more likely to be preferred there.
3. Sales is not just about selling and advising. The job requires a high degree of planning and coordination, strategic thinking, a high level of resilience and good frustration tolerance. These sometimes dry topics are, of course, already covered and deepened during sales training.
4. The pressure of the annual federal final exams is high, but you are well prepared for them during your training.

Graduates generally work as commercial managers in middle management. They can pursue a wide range of activities in the retail trade, in industrial and commercial enterprises, in service companies such as banks and insurance companies as well as in the tourism and telecommunications sectors.
