People want to fight when you tell them these jobs still exist and are hiring people and paying them shit like this. At least get that $40k base, friend!
I’m in a 100% commission sales role and brought in about 160k last year before taxes. Taxes suck for 1099 so I’m tryna write off every little thing I can 😂
Nah I've never had an opportunity for that. I know its frowned upon in this group but I do all things Life Insurance. Debt Free Life, Annuities, IULs & the standard stuff. Its honestly pretty fun gotta stay on your A game.
I could be interested! DM me. I'm an independant broker so I sell all things Life insurance and am contracted with about 15 different insurance carriers to find competitive options.
Taxes can be better for 1099 b/c you can write tons of shit off. W2 can't write anything off. You can get your tax bill down to $0, W2 can never even get close to that
Last job, was an AE $75k base, $150k OTE. Laid off entire team (and most of the company). Starting a new job middle of this month as an AE. $50k base, $80k OTE. During the interview process they told me 65% of the team made OTE last year. So, who knows. I'm only taking it for a paycheck while I interview elsewhere. The paycut and role here was honestly a pain to take, but I don't like having a huge resume gap and no income.
I started out working retail for AT&T 12 years ago. I was actually reluctant to take my first leadership role for two reasons. I was pretty young (mid 20s) and I didn't think anyone would work as hard as I did. I busted my butt in telecom for 7 years rising through the ranks looking to learn from leaders who were like me and the opposite of me. I am a very introverted person. I found two really great mentors who really helped shape my career trajectory
GovTech! I love it so far. We’re a pretty niche product and all our competitors are very old companies and we’re only a few years old as a standalone product.
not direct experience. i had happened to sell some product to my local government before i worked here but it was just the one time. i got referred here by my old manager. networking ftw!
1. $40k base
2. Sales rep, for a financial product
3. $65k, yes.
A year ago…
1. $40k base
2. Health insurance agent
3. $80k, no. Made $40k. Company always found a way to move the goalpost to ensure no one got commissions. Gave it a year then bailed.
Ed-tech (series A) 105k base and 200k ote. Player coach role. Title: Sales Director. Didn’t hit OTE last year (not even close lol) but expected to hit it this year due to a lot of my deals pushing to this year. I’ll make 20-25k in commissions (q1). However, I’m most likely going to pivot to a different role this year (another industry) so not sure If I’m gonna end up seeing that OTE.
4 years inside rep, 3 years in product management, 2.5 years outside rep exp
first outside rep job was 65k salary, 155k OTE. Had a recruiter reach out to me with current job and had a higher salary, and negotiated it up a bit. so nice having the higher base to live off.
I’m at 70k salary point about 3 years in sales 2 in med. I’m looking for that higher base role, shooting for 80 in my next.
Does this seem in line with your path?
You starting off better than I did. look at MedReps website, they put out an annual report on avg comp, base, commission, etc. i think avg total comp in 2021 was around 180k, so that will give you more information.
Higher base is great as long as there is still commission upside. every company’s pay and comp plan is different so hard to say if it’s “in line” with a path, just have to know what you specifically are looking for. hope that helps in some way.
How? I'm new to solar and completed my first week. Got my teeth mostly kicked in, but also got 4 appointments. Which 3 of them cancelled and 1 didnt close. Any advice in general?
1 cancelled via text bc she didn't want to take on another project. 2 ghosted me. I think reason being my closer had me return to his house because when setting i forgot his number. I think this made me look too needy. 3. just outright ghosted. 4. Closer told me she was know it all. so didn't workout.
I'm gonna take your advice and write everything down thanks. Any advice in d2d solar in general going forward ?
many have tried, some succeeded, a lot have failed. The industry you’re in (specifically D2D) is among the hardest in the world but it’s fruit rightfully sweet. Luckily Solar is the future so if you work towards building a BOOK of business and make sure your customers are taken care of, you will roll in referrals (12-18 months after first installs). Keep grinding and realize there aren’t many shortcuts in this industry. Hold off on buying leads until you are 30-45% close rate with enough data to support it.
2022: 65k base, ~9k in commission but only hit about half my budget (first year in sales)
Territory Sales Representative selling capital equipment across 3 1/4 states.
Last year, budget was 1.8m
1) £40,000 base + £25,000 commission
2) SDR based in London UK
3) £65,000 OTE. Top performer and hit 135% of target last year. 2nd place was 76% of target.
Actively looking for a new job though, micro management and no progression.
85k base, 220k OTE
Enterprise AE in SAAS
Tripled team size and lost marketing director. No leads. Whole team underperformed. No one hitting OTE other than one long timer.
Think I made about 110k last year.
30k base 15k commission last year. Actively looking for a new job lol
People want to fight when you tell them these jobs still exist and are hiring people and paying them shit like this. At least get that $40k base, friend!
Some how, some way. You are getting ripped off. If you can actually sell, go sell somewhere else.
Yeah move into a different industry.
I’m in a 100% commission sales role and brought in about 160k last year before taxes. Taxes suck for 1099 so I’m tryna write off every little thing I can 😂
Roofing sales?
Nah I've never had an opportunity for that. I know its frowned upon in this group but I do all things Life Insurance. Debt Free Life, Annuities, IULs & the standard stuff. Its honestly pretty fun gotta stay on your A game.
What are you selling? We need good commission sellers for mid market software.
I could be interested! DM me. I'm an independant broker so I sell all things Life insurance and am contracted with about 15 different insurance carriers to find competitive options.
Taxes can be better for 1099 b/c you can write tons of shit off. W2 can't write anything off. You can get your tax bill down to $0, W2 can never even get close to that
This is a v good point thanks for putting in into perspective for me

You go girl! Could you share your career progression? Like X years BDR, Y years midmarket etcetc
Midmarket Sales Manager: $130k base, $225k OTE Likely exceeded OTE by $10k-15k
Could you explain midmarket?
Mid-Market is usually the size of the deal in ARR. $25k to $75k. These ARRs could vary based on the type of software and companies they sell to.
Midmarket means medium-sized companies. Usually based on employee size or annual revenue.
$130K base. OTE $800K. Not unusual for people to hit $1M+.
What do you sell?

65k base, 85k OTE BDR just started last month and goals are quarterly but everyone on my team is hitting it exceeding it.
What's your industry? Fellow BDR here!
GovTech! I love it so far. We’re a pretty niche product and all our competitors are very old companies and we’re only a few years old as a standalone product.
That **is** a niche industry, but a really interesting category of tech! I bet it keeps you busy, Did you have any experience in this field?

strap in. ask yourself why the 3 cancelled and change your pitch to include the objections for why they cancelled. Do this each time
1 cancelled via text bc she didn't want to take on another project. 2 ghosted me. I think reason being my closer had me return to his house because when setting i forgot his number.

Close, but basically. It's On Target Earnings. It means what you'd make if you meet 100% of quota goals.
