As a sales manager, you need to understand the power of words. But if you want to expand beyond that and switch to marketing and everything that goes with it, you’ve landed on the right page. Join Digital Ready today to successfully transition from sales to digital marketing.
So that you better understand what we do, we have put this blog together for you.
Why switch from sales to digital marketing?
There are a number of reasons to switch from sales to digital marketing. A few primary ones are:
1. More opportunities and better salary
Every business needs salespeople to convert the leads into sales. As a sales representative, you know exactly what is needed to market a product or service and to generate interest. Companies use a variety of techniques to attract customers.
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, there are many things a company wants to do. Digital marketing not only has a lot more job profiles and roles to discover, but it also offers pretty good salary packages. An average digital marketing manager can get up to Rs. 8-10 lakhs per year in our country.
2. Improve your existing skills
As a digital marketer, you actively expand your existing skills and even add exciting new ones to your repertoire. Not only will you improve your soft skills and understand sales better, but you will also pick up new skills like designing, writing, analyzing, etc.
We strongly believe that anyone considering moving into marketing should move on, as digital marketing career opportunities in India alone are reported to be worth $ 160 billion by 2025.
3. Faster career growth
The career growth rate of a digital marketer is far faster than that of a sales manager. With digital marketers so in demand these days (with the industry growing at a massive 10% each year), businesses and companies go the extra mile to hire high quality marketers.
This means that if you have the necessary skills and can demonstrate them to your potential employers, there are no limits to your options in this area.
In fact, it is speculated that the e-commerce business, based entirely on the shoulders of digital marketing, will have a Rs. 7 trillion industry by 2023.

last words

But imagine being part of something right from the start, right in the branding phase. This is exactly what digital marketing offers you and we can help you with it.
