Sales reps going into their 30s see a significant income jump, and it is this age group earning the highest commissions. Reps in their 40s report the highest total income, despite making a lower base salary than those in their 50s and 60s.
Once reps have ten years of experience (most do in their 30s), additional experience does not affect income as much as it does in earlier stages of a career in medical sales.
