Non-Technical Person has a question about starting a gaming career.

Hey nerds. I have always been obsessed with anything to do with gaming. I am wanting to pursue working in the gaming industry, since it aligns with my main passion, but...

I have NO technical skills to help make games. My experience and skillsets have to do with Sales and relationship building. I know there are a few positions out there already i.e. Event Sales Managers or Community Partner Manager roles.

I have 3 questions for you smarty pants'

  1. Is there a need for people with a sales background in the gaming industry?

  2. What other positions are out there that I should look into?

  3. How the heck do I get started on this path??

Type away, my fellow fiends.
