What affects a Sales Manager’s salary in the United States
Across every market we cover, the same forces set the Sales Manager range: on-target earnings (base + commission) mean realised pay varies wildly with performance. Against the $100,000 United States median that means a spread wide enough to matter more than the 26.0% the tax system takes.
Entry level to lead: the Sales Manager range in the United States
