re: Questions for people in sales

How stressful is your job? Moderate Stress


How many years did it take to start earning six figs? 6 months


How many hours do you work on average per week? When I was in Baton Rouge after being in my territory for a couple of years around 35 hrs a week. Now that I’ve moved and starting a new territory around 45hrs to 50hrs but that will come back down in the next 6 months or so.

Does your job often cut into personal/family time? Nope. Complete freedom of my time I am just choosing to work more to get to the income faster starting a new territory.

Are you “happy” overall with your job? Yes. Been with the same company for 21 years. Worked in Phoenix, Charlotte, Baton Rouge and now Conroe Texas.

Any suggestion on what sort of company/role to look for for someone looking to start a career in sales? I came from the ops side of our business so iI was ahead of the curve on product knowledge and already had some sales goals and experience.
