There are many sales job with a base salary. Too many factors here though to fully answer your question. What industry?
Commercial real estate
I do SaaS. Salary plus commision
I work as a senior hospitality consultant selling point of sales software and hardware. Companies like mine also sell to retail as well. It’s an outside sales role.
Hit me up
Lots of industries and positions!
But the tech industry has great opportunities.
Research the BDR/SDR positions and see if that is something that you’re open to.
Basics of the position are:
-Prospecting through cold calling, emails, and LinkedIn posts
-Handling incoming leads (dependent on how the company is structured)
-Spreading the value of what that company does with cold calls and etc (it’s a skill, so continue to further your knowledge on how to approach objections and learn different openers to find the best one that suits you best)
Typically in the tech industry in this role is 45k-55k (base salary) + 20k-30k (comm).
Then if you exceed your monthly quota, usually there are accelerators that come in with those commission structure.
Yes, I have a six figure, plus five figure bonus, salaried sales job in the commercial furniture industry. My accounts are architecture and design firms, and their clients.
This is too vague. Most sales jobs have a base salary which is enough to live on but much less than you actually want to make as a salesperson. Then you get bonus or commission on top of that (your "variable compensation") to get to where you want to be.
Are you looking for a sales job with no variable at all? Or just a job that pays a base no matter what and has a variable component? The latter are all over the place. The former are very hard to find (especially at high comp levels).
Not very common. Maybe more in the Customer Success realm or Sales Operations.
