I’m 21 and been in sales for about 3 years total. I’m on pace to make just under $300,000 this year. Is that around what I should be expecting or should I be speaking with the executives for more?

If you are 21 and you’re making $300k a year I think you’re way ahead of the game. No matter what you are selling. Keep it up. I’m nearly 20 years your senior and make about $100k more. Well done you!

I’m actually 16 and a half (half birthday just passed) doing 400k a year so you’re not super far off pace; especially in this market! But with 3 years experience you really have put your time in, you should be clearly making close to double that. Speak to execs ASAP

Definitely speak to the executives for more, you are under paid for your age and tenure.

This is a travesty, my reps start at $500k, you should definitely post loudly about this on all social media platforms, email the CEO, don’t rest until you get your due!! I mean, how you gonna afford that 3rd car?

In all seriousness if you’re legally making $300k a year invest at least $200k a year because I promise that job is a miracle and nothing last forever. Also, please let us all know your company asap 😳

Im in the wrong field. My base is 46k with 36 yrs of experience in sales.
What are you in to make that kind of money?

For some 300k a year in sales is usually what you end a career making. You’re talking about 3 years experience TOTAL and making 300k? This has to be fake. I’m very curious what type of sales you do where you basically started making 300k from the jump.

Wow. That is amazing. I am super jealous

Good luck at the Catalina Wine Mixer this year.

I work for a company with a pretty generous PTO policy and a mostly remote flex policy (4 days a month in office if within 75 miles of the building). One thing I’m wondering if there is a way to help us I get the “I’m taking a mental health day” call out regularly which causes a strain on the rest of the team because we were unable to prepare like we would with pre-planned PTO. Any ideas of things I can do as a manager to encourage pre-planned PTO instead of these call outs?
