Charged with meeting the revenue goals, hiring, organizing and overseeing the sales force, the required skill set is both extensive and unusual. Sales VPs typically come up through the ranks of sales, but most talented salespeople will not make effective VPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great salespeople are hunters. Great VPs are hunters who\u2019ve learned how to organize and lead hunting parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much a VP\/Sales gets paid is influenced by factors that include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Track record<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Years of experience<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Size of employer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Years of tenure at an employer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Employer\u2019s industry<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Industry knowledge and connections<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Method of compensation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Compensation Type<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plays out in how VP\/Sales are paid. There\u2019s typically a substantial base salary garnished with varying amounts of bonus money depending on the company and the industry. For example, an \u201caverage\u201d VP\/Sales in the financial industry is not unique in their organization; there may be dozens of VP\/Sales in a large firm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For software companies or manufacturers, there may be just a few \u2014 or only one. As a result, total VP\/Sales compensation (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlyft.com\/en\/resources\/what-is-on-target-earnings-ote\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OTE, On-Target-Earnings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) in some industries is lower than you might expect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also many types of additional compensation. Startups or tech companies may offer a mix of bonus cash and stock for reaching or exceeding goals. Others may stick with straight commission sharing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Location<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to its industry, where a company is located and its geographic footprint are major determinants of total income for their VP\/Sales. A regional business in the Midwest is not going to pay what a global business pays. Large national\/multinational companies tend to pay in the same ranges as others in their industry because they are competing for the same talent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Average Pay<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to research from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glassdoor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the average base pay for a VP\/Sales is $100,000 across all industries and all experience levels. When you factor in the size of the company and years of experience as a VP\/Sales, large differences in compensation emerge. For our analysis, we looked at average pay in four scenarios:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Low \u2014 less than one year experience at a small company with fewer than 50 employees total<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>High \u2014 average salary for VP\/Sales with 15 years experience at large companies (1,000 or more employees)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Highest \u2014 Highest average salaries for AEs with 15 years experience at large companies<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>High total comp \u2014 Total compensation for highest earners when OTE was included<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Averages can be deceiving of course: There are VP\/Sales making less than $100,000 and some making ten times that amount when total compensation is included.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Average: $100,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Low: $66,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>High: $268,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Total Comp: $288,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s significant variation between industries, too.

While the direct impact was felt most acutely by the firms engaged in combating covid, the increased demand for healthcare supplies of all kinds affected many others.
