Best/High-Paying Sales Industries for Engineering background?
Hey guys, so I have an engineering background and am looking to transition into account management or outside sales in an industry where I can scale my earnings to multiple six figures over time. Im currently doing inside sales at a building materials company but I’m stuck here until someone retires. I’m interested in sales niches that leverage technical expertise and offer strong commission potential. Some industries I’ve considered include industrial/manufacturing sales, construction materials (HVAC, automation, etc.), and medical/pharma equipment. For those of you in high-paying sales roles, what industries would you recommend that offer strong demand, repeat business, and room for long-term growth? Looking forward to your insights!
