1st of all, I applaud your courage to step into sales. Many
people do not even dare think about it, and let alone quit what
they are doing.
sales got basic + com, and pure com, pure basic (rare).
For beginner with zero experience and zero savings, better to get
basic + com.
Previous post I read basic very low, or must hit certain quota
before you'll get com.... those are just different permulations. It
would be best to discuss with the company you're interested to work
with.
And Sheri, you are right. In fact you are quite fortunate. 3-4%
increment rate (not taking into account bonus) is actually
relatively good increment liaozzz.
Generally, if you wanna earn more money, either start a business or
do well in trading. For the rest of us, it will be going into
sales.
My ex-collegue in a local back earns avg $12K monthly. She's doing
credit facilities sales by calling. Her basic is $2.6K.
Another ex-ex-collegue in a foreign back, doing credit card sales,
is getting an average of $6-7K. They're both in their
mid-twenties.
However I too have a friend in recruit express, (help people find
job) who is only getting $3k monthly. Her basic is $1.8K
To comment on your question on whether a big or small company, I
would say depends on the company about how they value their
employees. Do they send you for external courses or trainings? What
is the promotional aspects like. Generally, a larger company will
have better funding for this type of things.
Big ones dun necessary have super high targets. My friend in
Siemens only need to do 2 sales a year. (They sell industry motors,
a few millions for 1).
As for stress due to targets, I can only say a company wun set a
target such that their people would not be able to hit it. If
people are hitting their targets consistantly and only one is not,
then the problem lies with that person.
As for stress due to teamwork, I can only say stress exists whether
in teamwork or as an individual. I'm sure you understand.
2 cents.
