[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sales, both of us big swings 500k-1.2M.

We live off our base salaries and were looking forward to retirement at age 50 (had our kids mid 20s), but recently at ages 41/43 adopted a siblings baby (deceased mother, brother incapable) so we are starting all over again as older parents.  [/quote]

What type of industries pay that for sales?  Not doubting, just wondering where my next job should be.

Generally speaking any sort of sales environment when your average sale is 300k+ you will be making good money.

We are both in IT sales. My personal sales goal is 20M. Just closed a large enterprise deal for just over 5M, that is one transaction. So to say the least we're not selling laotops and monitors.

Put it this way, you won't make much money selling homeowners insurance, but you will make good money selling multi-million dollar policies to fortune 500 companies.  You won't make any money selling cars at Koons Ford, but you will make a ton of money selling cranes to Bechetel.

BTW, sales is not a job, it is a career.  The money is great, but I have seen countless people fail. You need a certain type of personality and for technology sales, you need to know your technology in and out. I'm not selling to stupid people.[/quote]

#respect to you for taking in your brother's child. It's incredibly generous and selfless of you.[/quote]

Oh we didn't think twice! My brother is an addict and we were terrified he wouldn't give up parental rights. I would have died a thousand deaths watching that baby be destroyed in that environment.  Plus after already raising 2 boys we knew what another crazy boy would be like.  Not gonna lie, it is pretty nice to have a 3rd chance at a kid. Really put a wrench in our plans of leisure and travel, but cool to do it again with all the lessons learned.  Sometimes the best blessings in life aren't apparent at first. [/quote] what happened with your first two?[/quote]
