I'm a Computer Programmer -- at my heart and core. I am hopelessly and horrendously naive -- about any and all aspects of a business or corporation that involve anything to do with sales, advertising, marketing, etc., etc. But I am looking to school myself -- in this heretofore unknown murky area... So I'm looking through non-Programmer job ads one day -- in earnest hopes to learn more about the mystical black corporate art of sales... I see that some ads that advertise that "Salespeople" -- are wanted/desired by the business and/or corporation in question... And I see some ads that state that "Account Executives" -- are preferred... Now, can anyone on HN, any smart person -- tell me (again, a hopelessly naive idiot! <g>) -- what the exact difference between these two classifications of business/corporate title/job is, exactly? Anyone, anyone? ? (...Bueller, Bueller? <g>)
