Sales is one of the cornerstones of every company – this is where customers are acquired and supported, sales processes and strategies are implemented and optimised, and turnover and sales figures are generated. The more targeted and efficient the strategies and processes are regulated, the more likely it is that this will contribute to the maximisation of profits and the growth of a company. The master’s degree in Sales Management and Sales Psychology combines the fundamental disciplines of management, psychology and sales, enabling graduates to develop into highly qualified sales management experts.
