[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can PPs who are making into the 300s in tech sale give some context about the companies they work for (if not name by name)?[/quote]

I’m curious what is the winnoning in tech sales. Say 100 people start at $65k at a tech firm, how many end up making $500k+?  All of them? Half of them?[/quote]

With tech sales, you need to be prepared to jump to new companies and new technologies. You're not going to sit in one company and sell Oracle for 15 years. Most will do 3 maybe 4 years with one company and then jump to the next big thing. I think most Career Tech Sales People who are full commission, no base, and selling a strong B2B SaaS product are pulling in 300-800k annually. The ones who don't succeed are pushed out of the entire field within 5 years... One company will dump them after 18 months. Another might give them a try even though they didn't hit quota at the previous... and they are out quickly after that... not that they leave sales entirely, they might sell something else, other B2B or jump to pharma or bio med, different sale, different decision makers.[/quote]
