Best of both worlds

sales of what?

what exactly is it you are selling?

>>1716233
I sell enterprise software. You need to get in working with a reseller first, then you can work your way up.

Once you have the experience and connections you bounce around every few years from job to job.

Forgot to mention you usually get stock options as well, not to mention an expense account for client entertainment.

Any complicated, big ticket B2B product (over 100k deal size) is a ticket to a 200k plus earning sales job.

Sounds great, time to work as a wagecuck for years just to get denied from getting into this position. Time well spent, right?

>>1716264
Great attitude faggot, you will never make it

Who the fuck buys 100k software? Who are you selling too?

You sound like one of those faggot internet marketers like Alex Becker.
You don't make "140k base" (in quotes because you never specified the currency), you a god damn lie, and you boot too big for you god damn feet.

>this is how a salesman earning "140k base" responds to a genuine concern regarding the thread he made
Once again, you're full of shit and you know it.
Also, sell me this piece of software.

Take something like Office365 for an enterprise organisation with 10,000 people:

100k software deals are nothing special, Oracles biggest accounts bill over 10M per annum each

Look at companies like Oracle and Splunk on Glassdoor.

I find it amusing that NEETs who pirate a $70 Windows license find it difficult to imagine that multinational companies work billions won't spend 100k on a piece of software that will save them $1M in worker effort

So I'm a NEET because I challenged your claims?
It makes sense that Oracle, Apple and Splunk etc, would spend inordinate amounts of money on software, but my belief that you are lying remains. You just don't sound like a salesman, the way you adress people that challenge you, the way you call people NEETS and faggots.
With that being said, why should we take any advice from you? Why make your thread? Wheres the proof of your claim that being a salesman is the best of both worlds?
Nothing adds up with you anon.

>>1716246
What have you sold so far, op?

>>1716302
I'm sick of reading nothing but bitcoin and affiliate marketing threads. And I'm talking about working for oracle and splunk, not selling to them. (Although they would spend a lot on software)

Not many people realise how much you can make in sales and I thought it was a point worth making.

Never mind how you think people who make big money talk, we are normal people as well

Mainly Telecom, IT product and services, to companies which employ from 500 - 10,000 people. Working at a range of companies. Deal sizes from $1000 for a few licenses to telco network contracts around $500k over 3 years.

If you guys are so doubtful of the money that can be made in IT sales, do a bit of digging because it is a pretty good career.

My first sales job was approx 100k OTE (on target earnings), slit about 60/40 base and commission. My current job is close to 250k USD OTE when you factor in all the perks

>Who the fuck buys 100k software
You are kidding right? I work for a company where a $1 million dollar deal is considered "small".
Get off this guys back, the 100k zone for sales can literally be any guy off the street who can get old fucks drunk enough to sign on the line.
And he is right: If you can make it in sales, you are set. It's the same stress level as owning a business, but the best part is that the worst that can happen to you is you get fired. And in sales, you will be fired, even if you do well. Sales people are always blamed for a bad quarter, and the regional president/CEO will guillotine all of them if it gets the board off his back.
Again, it doesn't matter, because you can just hop over to another company in the software industry.

How does one get good at sales?

For the sake of example let's suppose I'm a fat, unemployed autistic virgin with severe social anxiety.

>>1716227

I have no sales skills and I'm in real estate. Tell me how to learn, I want to list 10+ houses a month.
