Frequently asked questions

This section provides clear, concise answers to the most common queries about marketing jobs, helping you find a new role with confidence.

What industries hire for sales roles?

Sales professionals are needed across a wide range of sectors including financial services, professional services, technology, SaaS, consumer brands, healthcare, retail and industrial markets. Opportunities exist in both field sales and inside sales depending on the organisation’s model.

What skills are essential for success in sales roles?

Key skills include communication, negotiation, pipeline development, stakeholder engagement, CRM proficiency, relationship building and experience generating new business. A data-led approach to forecasting and reporting is increasingly valued, along with the ability to manage an exciting opportunity effectively from first conversation to close.

Do sales roles offer uncapped commission or OTE?

Many organisations offer uncapped commission, structured bonuses and competitive on target earnings (OTE) packages. Commission structures vary by sector and seniority, and our consultants can advise on what to expect for your job title.

What working patterns are available in sales roles?

We recruit for full time, part time, on site, hybrid, home based and field-based roles depending on the employer, team structure and job type. Some organisations also support flexible working depending on the nature of the sales cycle.

What’s the difference between field sales and inside sales?

Field sales roles typically involve in person client meetings, territory coverage and external relationship building. Inside sales roles usually focus on remote selling, managing inbound enquiries, virtual demos and structured account management.

What does a Sales Manager do?

A Sales Manager oversees a sales team, leads forecasting activity, supports pipeline development, mentors sales professionals and manages client relationships. They may also be responsible for reporting, coaching and sales strategy, depending on the organisation.

What does an Account Manager typically do?

Account Managers build long term relationships with clients, identify cross-sell or upsell opportunities, support retention, manage renewals and collaborate closely with delivery teams. Some roles may be weighted towards farming existing accounts, while others combine new business development.

Do you recruit for technical or specialist sales roles?

Yes. We support roles in technical sales, SaaS sales, field sales, enterprise sales and industry-specific positions that require deep product or sector knowledge. 

Are there opportunities for progression without moving into management?

Yes. Many organisations offer routes into enterprise sales, key account management or strategic partnerships roles for sales professionals who prefer to remain individual contributors rather than managing a team.

What does a sales consultant do?

A sales consultant helps businesses grow by identifying client needs, presenting solutions and closing deals. The role often involves building strong relationships, negotiating contracts and meeting sales targets. It’s ideal for professionals who enjoy working with people, solving problems and driving commercial success.

What benefits can I expect in a sales role?

Benefits vary by employer, but many sales positions offer competitive packages that can include uncapped commission, annual leave, healthcare and sometimes perks like a company car or flexible working options. On-target earnings (OTE) structures are common, meaning your performance directly impacts your income.

What does a typical career path in sales look like?

Sales offers clear progression based on experience and performance. Entry-level roles include Sales Executive. From there, you can move into mid-level positions such as Account Manager, Sales Manager or Regional Sales Manager, and later progress to senior roles like Head of Sales or Sales Director. Many professionals also branch into areas like partnerships, customer success or commercial leadership.

Where does Carter Murray recruit for sales roles?

We recruit for sales jobs in key markets worldwide including the United Kingdom, Ireland, North America and the Middle East, offering opportunities from Sales Executive to Sales Manager, Account Manager and Sales Director.

How does business development fit into a sales career?

Business development is a key part of sales, focused on generating new opportunities and building long-term client relationships. Roles such as Business Development Manager often involve prospecting, networking and creating partnerships that drive revenue. These positions can be a great entry point into sales or a stepping stone toward senior roles like Account Manager, Sales Manager or Sales Director.
