Hi everyone,

I am a technology professional with 20 years of experience in high-tech specifically Cybersecurity and I moved into sales recently in management role. It’s been great experience & I am super successful but it’s a Chinese company very stingy on commissions. Who is making $500K plus in sales, which company & what title/role in sales?

Most importantly could you kindly give me a referral? I am a beast in sales and I am fed up of this stupid company. Joined it a year ago from doing my startup (was successful but too stressful).

So who is making how much? Salary, Commissions, Stocks combined. And which company & title?

My role Head of Sales but TC $200K ( company private so no stocks & no commissions).

Also Any advise for me?

    If you’re such a good sales person sell yourself to a company with a good comp package. You have 20 YOE and you’re on blind asking for company advice...I’m not saying there won’t be help here but if you’re as good as you say you are you should have a Rolodex a mile deep of contacts.

    Also in general if you want to make a ton in commission you should look at small companies that care more about bookings than profitability. Let’s be honest AWS and Azure don’t need top tier sales people, they need competent communicators to onboard people that come through the doors by the thousands.

  • Microsoft Cyber Security execs as IC’s probably in the $300k+range for OTE plus stock (60k+ RSU annual) ... not sure about management levels

    I’m not a direct seller, but I know there are sellers (Account Executive / Client Executive) at VMware who have OTE packages of $350K+, and some who even kill it and make $1M+ after closing huge deals and hitting accelerators.
    But then again, the low performers get managed out, so you’re only as good as your last big deal.

    You work for a Chinese cybersecurity company? American businesses are buying from you? This sounds sketchy 🧐
