How much does a sales supervisor make?

In the U.S., pay can differ with experience, useful skills, credentials, the industry, location, and how much responsibility someone has. Some jobs include sales commissions or bonuses, so results can matter too.

Directly supervise and coordinate activities of sales workers other than retail sales workers. May perform duties such as budgeting, accounting, and personnel work, in addition to supervisory duties.

What's a typical day like?

They check sales, coach staff, and help resolve customer complaints. They may also visit retailers and prepare sales or inventory reports.

U.S. workers usually finish high school and gain sales experience before moving up to supervisor; it is generally a step-up job. A degree is not typical, but some product sales may require a state license.

Usually a bachelor's degree (preparation level 4 of 5)

Good for people who like leading and selling and keeping things organized.
