Answer Question
How hard is it to switch from sales to marketing?
I've been a lowly sales coordinator for about 18 months now. We cold call, set up appointments and generally support the enterprise salespeople. The career path is generally from sales coordinator to associate to salesperson and many at the company have done it.
The main attraction to salesperson is the super high income (usually $200k to $300k) but I find that I am more drawn to marketing. I am an English major and think my writing skills will serve me better in marketing. How can I make the jump to marketing without starting at the very bottom? What positions, specialties should I seek? And how can I acquire the skills on the side?
