Most employers look for online sales managers who have at least two to five years of experience. A manager has a high level of responsibility and may also supervise or manage other sales people or staff managers, so they should be experienced in both digital marketing and sales as well as in supervising others. Most managers start out in other sales-related positions before being promoted to managers. They may work in a store as a sales person or as part of a digital marketing team.
There are fewer manager positions than in other industries, so opportunities may not be as easy to find and there is a lot of competition for them.
Internet entrepreneurs and store managers must have the desire and initiative to keep up on new technology and business trends. Because they must deal with many different people in various lines of work, they need to be flexible problem solvers and have strong communication skills. Creativity and insight into new and different ways of doing business are qualities that are essential for an entrepreneur to be successful. In addition, because the Internet and e-commerce are relatively new and the future of Internet businesses is uncertain, those who enter the field are generally risk-takers and eager to be on the cutting edge of commerce and technology.
