I tend to agree with the fact that to make 100K plus in sales you ahve to work hard. But I tend to disagree with the statement that you have to be a sociopath.
My experience is that my paycheck went up exponentially when I stopped caring about my own paycheck. I worked with custoemrs who wanted to learn something and maintained a pipeline over the years. For those people who wanted QUOTES or thought I was some lacky I got rid of them fast and let them figure things out on their own.
I know what my time is worth and it is not to do people leg work for them. That is what the internet is for.

ParticipantCan totally appreciate this sentiment. Lot of looky lous getting into an industry without the skill sets to be effective. They benefitted from a backlog of clients that the more qualified people just could not get too.
I would say that the next big wave of sales opportunities will be debt consolidation, alternative energy products (solar), financial planning as baby boomers need guidance with 401K roll overs, disability software to make screen readers more accessible to an aging workforce that may struggle with vision problems.
This would be an interesting list to put together. Anyone want to start a thread as to where they see opportunities in the next 3 years for products that are surging.

ParticipantPeople laugh, but if these people are good at sales their skills are very transferable. More than likely they will find some other industry and while it might take six monhts to a year to build up a client base the more determined ones will be selling something different. You sort of have to accept that this is going to happen if you are in sales.
I personally try to use a 4 year average so any great year is forwar averaged so that I can not only control spending but simultaneously ahve a solid reserve to fall back on. I don’t think that this is unusual.
