It's hard work, finding the motivation each day to 'be your best' but when you're good at it, there's not a more rewarding sector to work in than salesā¦UNLESS your employer pays rubbish commission and bonus packages.
Or maybe the product you're selling is no good, and no matter how great you are at pitching and closing, you just can't hit the numbers to put that deposit on a house, car or pay off your debt. Perhaps you were made redundant and like the idea of switching into software, one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. Any of this ring true?
