With earnings regularly sitting at around 35k for sales executives, base salaries for senior staff much higher, frequent uncapped bonuses and generous benefits, it’s easy to see why IT Sales is such a desirable industry.
If you’re looking to get into Software Sales, by far the most important prerequisite is a gift for selling itself – technical knowledge is secondary. If you can prove your ability to be persuasive and determined, particularly if you already have a track record in the sales industry, you should be able to get your foot in the door.
However, keep in mind that internet selling has put something of a squeeze on the Software Sales market in recent years, so you will need to prove you can add value. If you’re new to this arena, we suggest doing a lot of product homework before any interviews.
