Retail to field sales
I am currently a retail store manager, and I make about 105 K per year. I have the opportunity with a company doing business to business sales covering a small region.
The new jobs base salary is half of my current salary, but comes with a book of business that’s about $50,000. So with current book of business, I should end up close to the same salary.
I then make commission on any other new accounts that I bring in, thus giving me a lot more potential for salary growth. I am nervous because I like having a steady paycheck, but I am capped out at my current role and will never make more money.
Do you think it’s worth the move?
