- Know what closing a deal is about: Marketing is essentially a form of sales, and in sales learning how to close a deal is essential. Knowing about sales will make you more valuable to the company you are applying to, this not only shows you how to hook or capture a customer but also how to reel them in (convert them).
- Perform better at marketing events: Sales will help you improve your communication skills when it comes to the customer.
