I used to work in digital advertising for five years (did ad operations, and ended with campaign management). I switched careers to something less lucrative and less stressful, which was a good move at the time. My question: Is there a big difference between ad sales and sales in other sectors? I had a taste of ad sales, I did not like it but I did like the money. So sometimes I think about trying again in a different area, but I don't know if it'd be actually any different than ad sales. It felt very absurd and stressful to think that my career would depend on if enough people bought Shari's Berries from ad buys. That may have been youthful over-thinking as it was my first big-boy job. I like to think I could do sales if I was selling something "real" (aka, not lovely ads), but at the same time it sounds naive since the point of sales is to turn a profit, not love the product. edit to add specifics: I work in university admin now, so the other sales areas I typically think about are SaaS and library vendors (publishers, databases, furniture, etc....) pizzapocketparty fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Apr 6, 2022 |
