B) Good opportunities for career development

One of the most attractive reasons as to why many professionals choose a career in sales is due to the potential of earning a lot of money in comparison to many other career choices. Out of college, my first sales offer started at $50,000.00 base with a full benefits package, car allowance, commission and various perks such as bonuses and exotic trips. After my5th year in sales, I have consistently made over six figures and with the experience and contacts I have under my belt, I could command this income with each job I pursue. According to simplyhired.com, the average sales salary came in at $59,000.00 per year with a high of $160,000.00/year. This of course depends on your years of experience, industry and job title. I have worked with sales professionals that have shown me a commission check for over $55,000.00 in one quarter and taking home a total of half a million dollars in a single year. One of the best things that many sales professionals like about a career in sales is that they have a direct impact on the amount of money they could earn. On top of a great salary, you might have the potential to earn top dollars with additional commissions. The high earners in sales are the ones that work hard, work smart, continually hone their sales skills, build lasting relationships and gain valuable experience that can be used to command a high paying salary. Start-up companies looking to enter the market attract many sales professionals by offering higher than average salaries and also add on stock options as well to share the success of the business. While large established companies provide better job security and great benefits with proven products and support. Some of the other monetary benefits include a car allowance, gas cards/reimbursements, cell phone, laptop, sales contests, expense accounts, tuition reimbursementand the list goes on. Companies pay their sales team well because, this is the team that generates revenue for the company and as the saying goes, nothing happens until something gets sold and without revenue, a business will be out of business.

B. Good opportunities for career development

Sir for me it is the uncertainty. In your sales career1+1 may not be2. it could be10 and it could be zero. Though luck plays a part , in the long run it is sheer hard work and the capacity to remain positive even after failures that pays.
