English term or phrase: sales profession discipline
management text

Title: "Foundational Competencies for Sales Professionals"
subtitle: "Sellers in a sales profession discipline"

Text: "The Foundational Competencies have been integrated into the Sales Competencies and are reinforced by specific behaviors and characteristics needed to be successful in sales."

...I don't understand why they felt it necessary to add ***in a sales profession discipline***, maybe they want to indicate in "any sales sector"?

Explanation:
This reinforces my theory that all the sociology grads go into HRM and marketing and take their jargon with them. My experience in university was that none of the sociology majors could speak normal English, and I'm afraid things have only gotten worse since then.
