Entry-Level Sales Jobs for New Sellers

$55k–$123k/yrtypical posted paymedian posting $71.6k/yr

Based on 1,402 distinct posted pay ranges, at 541 companies, every range put on a yearly basis (a rate per hour × 2,080 hours). 2,962 of the 4,670 openings here list no pay; 6 name only a top figure ("up to $X") and are not counted.

SDR and BDR seats, inside sales and associate closer roles: the seats where companies train new sellers on a real quota, with a base salary and a variable on top. 4,670 are open today at , among them Pave, Stuut and LangChain. Each seat is taken from the employer's own careers system, read again every hour, and a seat leaves this list once the employer closes it.

First seats by kind of sales work

Each kind of sales work with open first seats, the largest first. A count opens its seats; a pay figure opens the seats it was measured from.

Sales Development (SDR & BDR)

Prospecting by call, email and social to book first meetings for account executives: the classic first seat, judged on meetings held and pipeline created.

Account Executive

Associate and junior closer seats: smaller deals and inbound leads, often a promotion path for a strong SDR.

Account Management & Renewals

Junior seats that look after existing customers: renewals, upsells and keeping accounts healthy.

Sales Engineering & Solutions

Associate solutions seats: demos and technical answers beside an account executive, often for people with a technical start.

Revenue Operations & Enablement

Entry seats in sales operations: the CRM, the reports and the territory and quota plumbing behind a sales team.

Customer Success

Onboarding new customers and getting them to use what they bought, usually measured on retention.

Partner, Channel & Alliances

Junior partner and channel seats: working the resellers and alliances that bring in deals.

4 openNot enough ranges

Typical posted pay is from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends; a kind needs three distinct posted ranges to get one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Employers hiring new sellers

Every employer with a first seat open, and the pay range those seats post. Companies are listed by what an application there is worth to you, and one that pays us a fee for hires sent from here gets a lift in that order; the fee never touches the base or OTE a company offers.

All kinds of sales work

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.

Ask before you sign

  • You never pay to be hired. Training, a starter kit, a license course or a list of leads you must buy is the mark of a commission-only or recruitment scheme, not a sales job.
  • Know how the variable is earned. On a first seat it can pay on meetings held, on pipeline created or on revenue closed; ask which, whether it is capped and what share of the team hit it last quarter.
  • The next rung pays more. These seats post a median of $71.6k/yr against $125k/yr for account executive seats. Ask how long the path to a closing seat usually takes there, and what it takes to get promoted.
  • Read past the title. These seats say they are first seats; the posting can still ask for a degree, a year in a customer-facing job or a language. Read it before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

Can you land a sales job with no experience?

Yes, sales is one of the few careers that hires on drive and coachability. Right now 4,670 open seats are first seats by their title or kind of work (12% of the 39,904 sales roles on the board), at 1029 employers, most of them SDR and BDR, account executive and account management seats. A title is a signal, not a guarantee: some still ask for a degree or a year in a customer-facing job, so read each posting.

How much does a first sales job pay?

The typical posted figure is $55k–$123k/yr (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends) and the median $71.6k/yr, from 1,402 distinct posted ranges at 541 employers; a posting's figure is its base or its OTE, as it labels it. The next rung pays more: account executive seats post a median of $125k/yr.

Which entry-level sales seats are open?

Most of today's first seats are in Sales Development (SDR & BDR) (2,429), Account Executive (1,676), Account Management & Renewals (147), Sales Engineering & Solutions (134). Sales development is the classic door: you book meetings for account executives and, after a year or so of hitting your number, move into a closing seat. Our guide to getting into tech sales walks through that path, from the first application to the first promotion.

Which companies hire new salespeople?

Stryker (150), United Rentals (140), Red Bull (90), Johnson Controls (69), Salesforce (66) have the most first seats open today, out of 1029 employers with at least one.

What should I ask about OTE in a first sales job?

What the variable pays on (meetings held, pipeline created or revenue closed), whether it is capped, how long the ramp lasts and what quota relief comes with it. The salary calculator shows what a base and OTE pay at different attainment.

Should a sales job ever cost you money to start?

Never. A real employer does not charge you for training, a starter kit, a license course or leads as a condition of hiring; that pattern belongs to commission-only and recruitment schemes. The scam checker lists the other warning signs.
