Hey guys, i am working in Sales for already 8 years - started in b2c door to door sales , and for last 6 years I am launching company brands on new markets (consumer electronics).
So the situation is like this - company changed the commission plan so I am earning like 0,4% from profit, and the margins are around 30%.
And my total salary now is 1,5 k usd net.
I am working with big clients like retail chains and distribution companies, but right now earning not more then this. Have you any advice?

You have the blueprint to sell your products as your own supplier, rather than doing it for someone else. I’m in the same position - same number of years, same comp % and pay. Unless you have unlimited earning potential on your commissions, you’ve maxed out the going rate for a KAM, and any future success with the company will be adjusted to keep you there while they make more profit.

Well, like a year ago i’ve maxed out company salary policy by earning highest commission in company (we had like 1,4% from profit) and they changed it to 0,4. I fucked up not saving money and crying in internet because of this fault - good lesson for the future. My contract unfortunately forbids building own brand or import from China with quite high penalties for this. You know, I am in such situation that if I double sales what will I earn, 300 usd more? My gas costs me almost the same to drive to the office every month 😂.

But thank you for idea with own brand, I may consider it, since I actually also created couple of products from the scratch. I was considering to find some remote work in US for some “A” brands but it seems like situation looks the same

Edit: we are talking about Europe, my sales varies from 400k up to 1 mln. I am fluent in 3 languages and have BA degree in Enterprise Management (top2 university in my Country)
