Sales is an excellent and challenging career. Salespeople have the potential to earn a high salary and often have a clear career path within their organizations.

HubSpot contributor Leslie Ye has shared seven reasons why sales is still a great career.

She says, “Here are a few reasons sales is a great career:

  • High Pay: Unless your employer places a cap on commissions, the sky is literally the limit. You can bring in well over $100K/year in the right sales role.
  • Clear Career Path: As an entry-level salesperson, you’ll be able to move into management roles or shift laterally into business development.
  • Personal Growth Opportunities: You’ll grow both your professional and interpersonal skills in a sales role. Talking to strangers every day will help you improve your communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Always in Demand: Sales jobs are always available and are forecasted to continue growing. Mid-level sales manager roles are growing at a 7% rate, and that’s without accounting for entry-level positions.”
