[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone give me some examples of sales? I conceptually get it but it’s not an industry I know anything about. [/quote]

There is no one answer and roles are diverse as any random two jobs you can thing of.

There are people that do door to door sales.
There are people that sell SAAS through a variety of means and methods.  Some are trying to sell a low price subscription that could be $10/month so volume is key.  Some are selling a very customized solution that could be a several million  The process and sales conversations are going to be very different in this two scenarios.  As will the compensation.

Take building materials sales at a lumber yard.  Some of the people that sell in this situation are basically order takers, guiding customers to lengths and dimension that will for the most part get them what they what them what they need with out a lot of back forth.  Under the same roof you could have an outside sales person, that is highly technically trained, keeps up with latest technologies, standards and best practices.  They are typically building relationships with builders and remodelers, architects and designers, etc.  Many people in the first group make $60-120k.  The range in the second group can be $80k - a couple mil a year.
