acquired experience

In the context you wouldn't translate "professionali", not for a sales person. It is clear from the context that it is work experience. Professional would be for a lawyer, accountant or a translator in an established profession, not somebody in an ordinary job as an employee.

agree philgoddard : It could be "has experience" - we don't know the full context.

has gained professional experience

I think gained is the nearest verb you'll get as in this example:
Gaining Professional Experience - Careers in Supply Chain ...

Gaining Professional Experience. It has long been said that there is no substitute for experience. This is absolutely true for individuals thinking about SCM .

has professional experience in commercial sales...

English usage is simpler to convey this meaning. For English speakers, when a person has experience, it is assumed that it had to have been gained or acquired in order for that to be the case. It is stylistically and idiomatically better not to follow the Italian word for word, and eliminate the wordiness that is frequent in the Romance languages, but does not fit common English usage.
Also, in everyday English usage professional is used to describe the behavior and experience of anyone in a regular job, particularly white collar jobs --not just the recognized professions. Accepted management doctrine is that salespersons in particular are to be professional in every respect.
