i am currently working for this company for less than a month, now another opportunity has come my way and i want to grab it, however they want me to report for work tomorrow so i need to resign within the day. I am a sales manager - would it be ok to do this? what would be the possible consequences? my current company does not know about my recent offer and i am not planning on telling them! should i submit my letter now??

As a manager of any type, it is HIGHLY unprofessional to leave without at least the standard two week notice, maybe even more. Even though your current company cannot legaly give a negative reference, (they can only state the positive aspects of your employment.) having a management job on your resume lasting only a month would be a draw back in getting hired on elsewhere if your current opportunity doesn't work out. However, having only been there a month, you could forgo putting them on a resume, unless a full background check is needed of course.
If you are absolutly sure that your new job will be a long-term endeavor, then you may as well quit with no notice, as having a job of that position for such a short amount of time will have negative results, whether you gave a one day notice or a standard two week notice.
If you are unsure it will be long-term you may want to stick with your current company for a while until a new opportunity arises. Who knows, your current job may end up being the opportunity you have been looking for.

RE:
is tendering resignation letter with one day notice professional or not in good taste?

Due to the declining work ethic, many companies actually ask their employees not to show up anymore once they give notice. If there is someone else who can cover your job until they find a replacement then it probably will work out.
As for professional, if you know that you are going to be fired, then it is appropriate to submit a formal letter of resignation on the day you leave.

Since you have only been working with them for less than a month, which is bad enough, I would go ahead and just tell them this job isn't working out for you and you have found something else. These are two bad practices, one being with a company for such a short time, two leaving without a two week notice. This will eventually catch up to you if you continue on this track. And don't use this company on references or on your resume.

you should tender ur resignation now but the company has the right to hold you since resignations will take effect usually after a month but in a case to case basis. since you are not yet a regular employee in that company, the decision of letting you go will depend on the management but in a professional level, resignations must be given one month prior to intended resignation

It would be more professional to give a letter, and I don't think the notice really matters (unless you are in a contract) since you already have a new job lined up.

In Canada, in the first 3 months of employment, either the employee or employer can terminate employment with no notice and for no reason. The job doesn't even ever have to go on your resume if you don't want it to. Go for it, good luck! If you're in the States, I'm not sure but I can't see it being much different.

It's not professional since 2 wks is standard, but if you need to, then go for it. Just remember your new job may not work out and you may need to go back. I also wouldn't count on them to be a positive reference necessarily.
I know the company I work for will NOT let someone be a rehire if they have left suddenly and then want back in the future.
