I have this constant argument with one of my friends and I try to tell him that the best sales rep at most companies usually make the most money within the company.
I was a marketing major, and Im in software sales for a pretty huge world renowned software company.
He thinks that finance people at most companies make all of the money. He thinks sales people are basically unnecessary, and for that reason they couldnt possibly make that much money. He feels that without the finance dept the company wouldnt even exist.
Of course he is a finance major and works for the govt.
I guess he doesnt think that pharmaceutical or medical equipment sales people make anything. Or that sales people at Exxon or major oil companies make anything. Or that guys that sale advertising space for CNN and other major networks make anything. I guess all of those companies are successful and profitable solely because of their great finance departments.
According to him, finance people make all of the money.
