Non-tech roles

I am currently in a sales generalist role making around 3 LPA in a startup. I am already 25 and I would like to switch into account management or a media buying role. What skills or tools should I consider learning? Currently learning excel & will be starting power BI. My goal is to reach at least 10 LPA this year through any certification or a skill. I know I have higher expectations but I am ready to learn anything that it takes.

If you know your career path will be in non-tech roles, then I highly suggest you become a excel guru (or as close to it as you can get) and supplement with BI visualization tools (I am biased to say PowerBI more than Tableau because of stronger overlap between excel power query and powebi). Some basics of SQL querying but needn't go deeper into database modeling

For buying and account management, brush up on corporate finance and scm basics, again no need to go heavy into accounting topics

If you have more time after completing all of these, then read up on pricing strategies and managerial economics

Just to be clear, By media buying & account management I meant performance marketing kind of roles. Do scm & CF help in that?

Although I am into a non-tech role, my company is a tech startup.

I come from a digital marketing & sales background.

Anyway thanks for the advice, I will do my prior research on the same.

Would be great if you could recommend any good resource on pricing strategies and managerial economics
