Best Answer:
Probably not in a larger company, like a Fortune 100 or 500 company. However, there are some smaller companies that definitely will hire people to be sales manager without a college degree.
YOU want your mother to be a sales manager, but what does SHE want to do?
A:
If she can find someone willing to use her experience instead of education (which a lot of places will), of course she could be a sales manager. All she needs to do is fill out applications for job openings.

Actually sales is one area they do not care if you finished college. They only care if you can sell. Specifically to be a "closer"

Yea, she absolutely can!
Have her go apply at cellular companies. They could care less about college honestly. Sales is all about the personality and the drive. I'm a general manager for Verizon Wireless and I make six figures and I went to college for 3 years and did not finish.
Another great place to try is being a sales manager for a car company.
Really, any place where the staff works on commissions won't care about her college background.
Hope this helps and have a happy holidays!
