I have over two decades in my respective field, and I was told the base pay for a National Sales Executive was $70K - $100K. Is it okay for me to ask for more, and what would be a fair base salary request for this position?

With two decades of experience, I would not anchor at the bottom. I would position myself at the top of the band and justify it with revenue delivered, territories grown, and leadership impact. If the range caps at $100K, I would negotiate base plus commission structure aggressively.

You can always try to negotiate for more. You never know until you ask. Are they offering you a decent commission rate? Just know that some companies will lower your commission possibilities if they give you a higher base rate.

If you're selling a radon fan or products you firmly believe in and you have been around in the business long enough than you know what the margins are on these products. If i believe in my products one hundred percent then I come up with a 100% commission pay strategy with car/laptop/phone/ the works...

Depends on how much business you’re bringing over with you. Can you bring half your accounts with you and how much is that worth to your new employer but don’t be surprised gotta go.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.
