Ii's not that I do not want to share information, but the pay scale can vary on level of experience, on sales quotas, and overall industry knowledge. I am looking about 50-60K per year with at least 10% commision. I also pay all sales training.

Re: Hiring Residential Painting Sales


10% is typical for residential roofing sales minus the salary. It's easy to make 75k a year in roofing sales on commission only.

Re: Hiring Residential Painting Sales


50-60K! I am sure that he is on the wrong site. Add another 0 to it and I might move to the great white north but not likely.

Nathan's next question;
How many people here make less than six figures and why? LOL

Re: Hiring Residential Painting Sales


Youll find almost all employees in the construction industry make less than 6 figures. I make less than six figures. You asked why? Because my company hasn't had it's grand opening yet. Why don't I make six figures in my current position as project manager at my current job? Because my boss holds me back, and takes a cut of everything I sell. That's life as an employee.

Personally I'd never pay a salesman a salary. I'd pay a very heft commission, but if you pay a salary there is less incentive to sell sell sell!

Re: Hiring Residential Painting Sales


I don't know what you guys are complaining about...

$50-60K a year WITH 10% commision PLUS Helth Care & Training?

If all the guy has to do is sell and not manage crews/jobs thats a great deal. I would think a good sales guy could easily sell somewhere between 500-600K.

So, 120K with benefits!

Now, I like to run things for myself and you can earn more by owning a company... but otherwise this is a great offer for most people.

Re: Hiring Residential Painting Sales


A weak salesman can sell 500k a year. I sell more than that and manage crews.
