Education and Certifications Sales Managers Need

Generally, employers seek candidates with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with an emphasis in marketing, although some employers prefer candidates with a master's degree. Some schools offer a Bachelor in Business Administration with an emphasis in Sales Management degree or a Bachelor of Business Administration in Sales & Marketing Management degree.

Significant sales representative work experience is extremely beneficial to sales managers and can sometimes replace missing education credentials. Most employers seek sales managers with one to five years of work experience.

Sales managers don't need specific certifications or licenses.
