What's the difference between a sales manager and sales executive?

  • i asked different people but no one gave me an clear answer,so please if there is anybody can help me to find the correct answer for this question. Thank you.

  • Answer:

    It depends on the company. I would think that the sales executive oversees the sales force including the sales manager. The sales manager, of which there may be several, oversees a team and probably participates in making sales (where the executive doesn't). The reason there is no straight answer, though, is that some companies play with titles to make sales people who are paid less fell more important = calling a sales person a sales executive even though they have absolutely no executive power.

In my experience a Sales Manager or even a Director is usually one person in charge of a team of sales people, he/she wil make sure that the team is hitting targets etc. A Sales Executive may be part of his team, IMHO I think an executive is more of a high flyer than say a sales person in a retail store and would be visiing corporate clients. It really all depends on how a company labels their employees.

The executive manages the managers.

the basic difference is hierarchy or position level. example, a sales executive will report to the sales manager. the sales executive has a lower position level vs the sales manager. in some industries, example, in pharma the sales executive will report to a field manager who in turn reports to the sales manager
