I’m confused on what to ask for salary-wise when companies keep confusing Sales duties with Marketing. I haven’t done the sales stuff they’re asking for but if I get the job I’ll need to include it into my rate. I know I can’t just combine the average marketing salary with sales, so how do I breakdown the salary for sales so I can add that specific area into my rate? Ex: Company wants me to do cold calling, how much would that cost?

I totally get this. I am basically a one-person marketing team for a software startup, but my job includes social media marketing, product marketing, sales, and even a little bit of QA. So it really is Frankenstein's monster of a position. I chose my salary by deciding what I would be willing to work for based on all of those job duties. Definitely more than just a marketing position, but I also didn't want to price myself out of the job because it was a position I really wanted. The initial salary was starting at $70,000 so I asked for $78,000 and we settled on $76,000.

I would look up the title you are interviewing for on Glassdoor. You should be able to find some good salary info on there. I would also ask them what their range is for the role, and that will tell you what the max is for the role.

This is a hybrid role pricing problem, and you're right not to just average two salaries. Think of it as a scope premium — not a salary mashup.
Look at what a dedicated SDR or inside sales rep makes in your market (typically $55–75k base), then figure out what % of your week that work represents. If cold calling is 20% of the role, you're adding roughly $12–15k to your ask.
Also worth naming it in the offer conversation — "this includes sales responsibilities typically compensated separately" signals you know what you're worth.
What industry are these roles in? B2B tends to pay more for that hybrid scope than B2C.

Thanks! Yeah, it’s a b2b role

Any suggestions?
