I have a question about moving up in the company. I'm looking to become a sales manager for either a inbound or a Outbound Team - Is it commission based like the lower level before it?

It entirely depends on the pay structure at the company you're working for. Some companies will pay sales managers a set salary with a bonus structure but others are purely commission-based. Maybe ask someone in that position if you have the chance?

Usually there's a roll up commission that's based in the sales results of your reports. The variable is typically lower than that for an individual contributor.

Interesting, please tell me more about it.
