There are a number of reasons why I would recommend a sales position to someone that is willing to make the right commitment. But, to me, the best reason for being in sales is that it is one of the few professions in which your income is in direct proportion to your level of success. For example, my wife is a buyer with a major corporation. She is very well respected and is well liked by her employer. However, as good as she is, her income will always be limited by her tenior. Those that have been with her company longer earn more than her, even though her annual review has been the best in her department. It's very frustrating for her.
