Why sales is a good way in in the UK
- Sales is one of the few UK careers where employers hire graduates from any degree, and often people without one, for attitude and communication.
- According to Prospects, sales executives start on around £25,000 to £28,000 basic, rise to £28,000 to £45,000 with experience, and senior earnings can exceed £100,000 with commission.
- There are graduate sales schemes in recruitment, software, media and FMCG, and SDR roles in tech that lead to Account Executive.
How Ventaka gets you ready
- Short game-style lessons: from zero to selling, 10 minutes a day
- Written role-plays with AI customers who push back with real objections
- The «sell me this pen» interview test with Cal, who scores you at the end
- A sales CV and a scam-offer detector
- A verifiable certificate to show recruiters
Red flags in sales job ads
- «Self-employed, commission only» face-to-face or door-to-door «marketing» roles that promise fast promotion to manager: you are paid nothing if you sell nothing.
- Ads that say «no experience, earn £1,000 a week» without naming the company or product.
- Being asked to pay for training, a kit or stock before you start: that is multi-level marketing.
- If you are an employee, your pay including commission must never fall below the National Living Wage: a role that does not guarantee it is a warning sign.
In Ventaka you paste an ad into the scam-offer detector and it flags these warning signs for you.
