Are there any requirements for working in equity/fixed income sales?

I am wondering if an equity or fixed income sales-man has to get any certifications, authorizations or licences to get started? I mean they are taking in orders and negotiating prices with the clients what is close to the trading subject. I am especially interested in the German requirements but also in other. Hope that this is not a dumb question to ask. Best!
