UserTesting VP of Sales • July 6
For recent graduates that want to go straight into sales, I will immediately high five them and say, "Hell yes!" Everyone is in sales whether you have a quota or not. You're selling your significant other that you want Mexican for dinner vs. sushi. You're selling your kiddos on why attending school is an advantage in the long run. Ultimately, it matters what you W2. Why work harder than your co-workers only to get paid the same as them? A career in sales pays you more for your hard work and growth mindset. Sales is the only careers where you can get up in the morning and determine how much you make.
