I doubt if that will give someone any leverage in terms of performance,it works best for one's credentials not in any way to work  performance.lt is true for all other fields(my point of view,take it that way).With sales l feel charisma,eloquence and that rare attribute of being persuasive are key success kingpins.

Basic sales knowledge is needed. Having a good product knowledge is essential. And having a sales experience is absolutely  necessary. The degree will provide you an entry to the interview venue. The interviewer will ask you questions like how would you sell a freezer to an Eskimo etc. Passing  that test you would be given some training about sales skills and the product to be sold. If it is a concept that has to be sold it would be more challenging as you have to create the product in the mind of the customer and then create a need. Then the real thing starts. You have to jump into the market as one has to jump in the water to learn swimming. You only learn by experience to be a good salesman.

I beleive it is not nessasary, Sales is different than any other feilds, you can't learn sales from books or cources, the most important in sales in real life experience, that's what counts.
