If this is for a distributor you can go up the ranks year after year if you are good. If you do that and also get a Bachelor's degree in marketing, (and you are good), you can slide over at some point from the distributor to the marketer (Diageo, Brown-Forman, etc.) and decide whether you want to stay in sales and eventually move into area or regional management, or if you want to move over onto the marketing track. At all of these companies, the brass almost uniformely comes from the sales organization. If you go into POS, my guess is you are probably limited to regional growth opportunities.
