Sales and Marketing in Education

Recruiting for sales and marketing staff in the Education sector

There are 27,000 schools in the UK, plus all the colleges and universities. Imagine the vast quantity of resources these institutions consume over an academic year. Books, IT equipment, electronic whiteboards, educational software, desks, stationery and sports equipment all, come immediately to mind. The demand from the education sector for this vast array of supplies has created a huge market for goods and equipment of all kinds. Given the increased autonomy that schools and educational institutions generally have gained over their own purchasing decisions in recent years, then it is hardly surprising that the competition between companies to sell their products into the sector has grown evermore fierce. This has resulted in a growing demand and career opportunities for sales and marketing personnel who are not only sales-driven, but also flexible enough to be sensitive to the unique public service ethos that exists in education. As in all sales, to succeed in the education sector sales and marketing people need to understand the market to be successful

Companies are crying out for people with the right balance of skills and experience to sell goods and services to schools, colleges and universities. If you have the sales and marketing experience required and a desire to make a difference to young people's lives through education, then look no further.
