Most California employers look for a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field, though many will consider equivalent experience. Business sales representatives in California do not require a state-issued license for most industries, but roles in insurance sales require a California Department of Insurance license and financial product sales require FINRA registration. Starting in an inside sales, sales development, or account coordinator role at a California technology, healthcare, or financial services company is the most common path to a full business sales representative position.
