Does anyone know fair earnings for distribution sales? I grew my accounts 400k last year and manage around 1.2m in accounts. What is a reasonable take home I should be getting?

It all depends on what you are selling.

Electrical products (wire/lighting etc). Average 25% profit on sales

~$60-70k in the my area for those sales levels. Which distributor?

Solar seems like a great gig to be in!

I have a friend making 72k at All Phase doing account management. CED owns All Phase. He's probably generating less than 2mil.

CED is tough every location is so different especially between regions and the traditional electric side and the solar side

We both will have the same package, same company, same background(most probably) and same poor work-life balance.

It is a good idea plus no HR problem also 😛

How difficult is it to start a solo firm? I’m a first year attorney working in insurance defense in Florida.

Any advice for planning? Thanks!

Hiya Guys, so I can tell I am burned out and inching into the grey pit of complacency. The burn out is already here, but the slide into grey-pit is not acceptable. I have a masters in business admin, 8+yrs of hospitality management experience, and a bachelors in science.

I really need advice/strategy for skill development, despite burn out and the weakened motivation. I am in a role that can, (in 2+ yrs), make me eligible to start at entry-level position in an area I want. I don't have 2 yrs.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

Should I be patient or just take the leap?

My company was acquired last year & new terrritoy assignments were made Jan 1st. The old AEs had until the end of Jan to close out deals they were working to receive 100% commissions & quota relief. The new AE taking over received 50% comm if the deals closed in Jan. After Feb 1st, the new AE taking on the account received 100% comm and the old AE received nothing. The two deals I had worked for months and in procurement Feb 1 close last week at 445k & $399k. $60+k comm to new AE - $0 to me. 😩

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
