As such, recent college graduates can provide a great untapped resource for many companies that rely on a hard-working salesforce.

[post]Breaking into the world of sales can be a challenge.

At this point in your life or career, if you’ve done any selling, you’ve likely dealt exclusively with consumers, aiming to sell them products or services. You may have worked in a store or other retail location and thought about who these customers are and how to sell to more of them.

This type of consumer sales is known as B2C, or business-to-customer marketing.

Both companies need to get something out of the deal. Instead of pitching to consumers, you could be pitching to company owners and other key players. It’s a different type of job than a B2C position, often offering even more opportunity for career and income growth. You’ll probably start in an entry-level position and progress from there.
