A good compensation package includes more than just a high-paying salary, and employers often attract top talent by offering other valuable perks and benefits. Common benefits for sales managers may include:

• Bonuses: Sales managers are often compensated through bonuses for reaching or exceeding specific goals, such as team quotas or annual sales expectations.
• Stock options: Sales professionals at corporations often receive stock options, which give them a stake in the business.
• Paid Time Off: Many employers now offer paid time off (PTO), which offers employees the flexibility to use their time off however they want.
• Perks: Employers may include company cars, cell phones, and meal or hotel stipends as part of an overall compensation package.
