Not much to ask but great job man keep up the good work. The misc needs a lot more success/positive threads to balance out all the FA/LDAR boyos crying about how life is so unfair.

So yes, today misc is going to be my outlet and yes you can call it bragging. I hate that word but I grew up in poverty and I'm not even 30 so there's a huge part of me that wants to scream it from a mountain top but I can't and most of the people I'm close with in real life I can't tell. So. Anonymously my forum is it.

You might remember I made a thread like this in January because in Jan I made $64,000 and at that time that was by far the most I've made in a month. Neither of these months are normal, about $21k/month is normal if I'm doing good.

I've proven myself in other threads before so hopefully it's not needed here.

I'm in software sales and that's about as specific as I want to get on that but other questions, go for it. I'll probably delete the thread eventually.
good job on the money but lol @ being a salesman. Gross profession to be in.

I can't do sales, it's just not for me. I mean, I have the potential and a good base to build off to do well in sales, but the salesman lifestyle isn't for me.

I could get into sales at my current company (they actually want me to) and make six figures plus, but I don't like the idea of pretty much being on call, staying tethered to my phone, not being able to vacation for extended periods, and having to live near my potential customer base indefinitely.

Instead I'm pursuing a degree that'll land me 65-95K annually, but it will allow me the freedom to travel the world like I want, without having to worry responding to customer's inquiries and concerns. I'll have many options to move internationally if I were to choose to do so, which is a direction I might go.

I currently do inside sales and one of the outside sales people I support got sick and had to check into the hospital. Well, just so happens that they were working on obtaining two new accounts, so they called me from the hospital to inform me what was going on and if I could assist. I wish I hadn't taken the call. I swear it sounded like death was knocking on his door. It was so saddening to have to hear him in that condition. He had no recovery time either. Had to jump right back into work.
Your schtick sucks and it screams insecurity.

+ve thread

Also can you specify how to reinvest cash from your presepctive in assests (beside buying home/car)

A tip; never say youll reach this at that age..it will place an emotional pressure/anxiety wheither you felt it or not.
Also never cut promises about youll do this or that, i know you have good deeds just...dont overwhelm your self with thoughts

I will find it helpful if you can summarize the soft skills in pin points in 1 thread/read pdf

thanks for the positive thread

Would a consultant mainly working in tech be able to transition into software sales down the line? Or is the career line of a consultant, say 5 years in, more lucrative than one in sales?

OP I'm gonna Pm you in a bit (reps on r/c). Kinda need direction in the next step of my career and the misc is slowly but surely attracting me to sales.

I have a background in healthcare and getting a grad degree in healthcare informatics. I feel like my industry insight would be perfect for medical software and enterprise system sales.

Being completely serious, yes I think so. I talk to engineers pretty often at my company, they know the product better than I do and are very intelligent people. Sometimes I wonder why they don't just transition into sales, I think sometimes they assume they can't do it but if they knew the reality, they may even better than I am at it.

What you need to be successful is to understand your industry and product. They have that knowledge so hell yeah, I don't see why not.
A lot of engineers aren't charming/charismatic enough to be salesman. My friend is doing what you do and making similar money, he's doing the best financially out of any of his engineer friends even though he had the lowest grades. But the other guys who are extremely intelligent about the subject matter and have higher technical skills aren't the best at instantly befriending strangers and would probably fail in sales. Funny how much of a difference people skills can make.

OP speaks as if there are no barriers to entry for a 400k a year job.

You're rather in the top ten percentile for social skills and are very intelligent, whilst getting some lucky breaks... which rules out 99 percent of miscers.

Or you just made it all up.

This is what comes up on Google

"Overall, at top-paying enterprise software companies like Oracle, SAP, HP, Microsoft, and ***, the "top 20 percenters" — the 20% of salespeople in the company who consistently sell the most — make $250,000 to $350,000 a year, headhunters and enterprise sales people tell us"

So OP is a top performing salesman. While I agree he is obviously successful it doesn't really seem that easy to replicate his success as it would to be an engineer and work your way to ~100k. There's definitely tons of barriers to entry to getting that level of income in sales.

find people/companies with needs - something they commplain about - then provide a solution.

i don't know of any. That's what people should focus on. Easier to sell then. Imaqgine having a cure for cancer. Sales would be soo easy.

don't forget already existing contacts. IN sales, your rolodex is GOLD. If you nothing - well.

.Keep in mind at least 50% of the sales depts at those companies have under 5-10 years experience. 250k isnt top 20% among the regional field reps. At many places that is simply the total comp for hitting quota and keeping your job. A huge portion of the sales force doesn't even close deals or work beyond bottom of the barrel region/accounts. The real difficulty lies in getting past that stage (doing well without anything decent given to you)

Certainly it's top percentile for the under 30 crowd though
