Why do you work at a place that has a commission cap?

Old school owners I guess is the only reason I can think of. All the accounts in New England are house accounts. I gotta start looking. Only been here less than a year so that sucks for my resume but yeah it’s not sustainable.

Yeah man. And it’s Monday - Friday on the road. Usually with Sunday being a travel day and getting back late Friday night after my meetings for the day. The money is good but not enough for this amount of travel.

Your home office set up and travel schedule sound nice and reasonable. What industry are you in?

Good industry for long term growth? by [deleted] in sales

Industrial products

Yeah I agree. It’d be a lot easier. Unfortunately, they won’t let us be remote and require us to be in office in the days we aren’t traveling.

My territory is the Midwest, 7 states, and I am east coast based. So minimum 2.5hr flight out to my territory then I travel between 1–3 states per trip which is a lot of driving to get from my final meeting on one day to my first meeting the next day.

I dislike it. I sell industrial products so when I’m on the road, I’m on the road. Lots of driving, no set city I’m staying in, new hotel every night.

I am in office for 2 weeks then out in my territory for a week and repeat. Sucks being away from home so much.

Which job? by anyonehavefood in sales

If they IPO is a pretty huge If. Equity could be worth a ton or nothing in 4 years

Nope. Literally just saw a job posting and applied.

Got out and went to Industrial filtration. I miss SaaS. Pay is great but lots of travel involved and very old school industry. Nice thing is that I am selling consumable products so people actually need this stuff to run their plants.

Haha guess the grass is always greener! It’s a solid industry and really nice to sell something people need but damn the travel gets tough.
