You’re looking for a job that pays, right?  While salaries in industrial distribution vary based on experience and education, compensation is competitive.  In fact, on average, you’ll make more than your friends working as retail salespeople, firefighters, insurance agents or auto service techs.

The average salary for a sales position at an industrial distribution company ranges from $50,000 to $80,000, depending on technical training, but most start in the $26,000-$35,000 range. 

But that’s just where you start out.  You can design a career path that suits your interests and skills – and make a lot more!  Sales managers make more than $100,000 a year on average.  Or, if you’re interested in IT, you can make $75,000 or more a year.

It all depends on your training and ambition.
