I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

60k is peanuts to manage that much revenue. You could ask for a raise, but it would have to be significant to get you up to market value. I'm in a low cost of living territory and I make roughly 150k. Manage about 250 million in account revenue. I'm on the low end of the pay scale compared to my more tenured co-workers.

Unless they are willing to double your cash compensation, I'd say open your job search and at least see what's out there.

Thank you! I knew we were underpaid, but DANG, I feel taken advantage of. I will be having a conversation with my boss today.

If you "manage" a $150 million account, you could definitely be making a lot more as an Account Executive, Account Manager, or Customer Success Manager. It seems like your role is fairly equivalent?

That was my guess too.

For context I have been interviewing for cosmetic packaging sales director positions where I'd be expected to generate $2-3 million in sales my first full year at the company. The base salary is $150k plus commission. Perhaps it's time to leverage your experience and start looking at outside opportunities that would compensate you fairly. $60k is incredibly low.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
