I do inside sales for a Life Insurance company. All of my life insurance sales are done over the phone. I probably avg 100+ deals a month.
Not every sales job is created equally unfortunately. I would say 90% of sales job are ass and over promise.
With that said, a good sales job is a company that can provide you with an unlimited amount of leads (no cold calling) and unlimited pay potential.
Current company I work for I’ve been at for 3 years and I’ve more money every single year. I made a 100K last year, this year I’m tracking to about $150K. We have several agents that make over 200K.
My advice for people getting into a sells position is don’t be afraid to learn and leave. Before I found the company I work for I went through a lot of shytty sales jobs that were straight trash, but I learned something new from every job when it came to the art of the sell. By the time I came to the company I work for now, I was so confident In my ability to sell shyt over the phone, I knew I would find success somewhere eventually.
Also understand the difference between a good company and bad one. No company culture is going to be perfect. But when you legit find the company that gives you a real chance of making great money, take advantage of it and work your ass off. Sales is one of the ultimate Grind Jobs. If you can’t grind to make money, it’s wrong career choice for you.
There are so many sales positions out there that you can make so much money in, but finding those positions can be challenging.
If you can find a position in Pharmaceutical sales, Medical equipment sales, and some insurance sales, these are very high income potential jobs.
There are a lot of tech companies that have sales divisions you can make great money in. I know companies like Salesforce have sales reps that make 100-200k a year a well.
If you are self motivated and don’t mind the grind, you can make a ton of $$$ with a career in sales.
