Probably makes $25/hr minimum and goes to great games. Doesn’t sound like it sucks to me.

They call me Daddy, Sales Daddy
It’s the only thing I have ever done and I happen to be good at it.

Oh, and it’s the only profession which pays you what you’re actually worth.

In sales you getting your goals depends on the amount of work that you do (mostly).

So if you work your a** off, you will get your worth.

Money gets people in, but not always what keeps people in.

Growth/development, the high of the win, delivering value/making an impact... these are all things that I have heard from successful Enterprise reps who have been in the game for YEARS
