Graduating as a sales manager with a federal diploma is preparation for taking on a higher management role, sometimes at management level. This is often associated with significant salary increases. Experience shows that after training as a sales manager, you can earn salary increases of up to 30% or even more in the first two years after graduation.
In individual cases, the development of the salary depends on the specific point in time and other criteria such as sector, region, company or previous training, professional experience and age of the applicant. Calculate your individual opportunities with the help of a salary calculator. We would be happy to show you an example of the calculation for a sales manager.

By gaining a holistic understanding of leadership and additional sales knowledge, Maria can make a significant contribution to the success of the business in a sales manager role. After training as a sales manager with a federal diploma, she will have better salary prospects and development opportunities.
Financial benefits of further training for sales managers
As a sales manager, Maria will receive CHF 1,369 more per month than before and will therefore have at least CHF 562,000 more at her disposal by the time she retires than if she had not taken this further training for the higher professional examination.
As this theoretical calculation does not take into account any further salary increases, promotions or interest on savings, the salary can still increase significantly.
