A good salesman can make many millions. But few people really want to do it.
They bust their butts to earn that kind of money too, live out of a suitcase and give up part of most weekends for travel and forgo family events. But successful results create the potential to move up and earn more. No company is going to hire some millennial for a director or VP level job in sales or marketing without that track record, and I don’t see many millennials who are willing to do it.
