This is gonna be really unpopular on this board. But keep in mind that I've done both. And I have a lot of experience with both.
The reason that sales people make more than a tech is because of the following:
1. Sales is the harder job.
2. Good sales people are harder to find.
Imagine calling on perfect strangers every day and trying to set an appointment to discuss their copy needs?
If you don't think that's hard, get on the phone one day and just call some random businesses and try to give away a free cleaning of the office copier. FREE! Not trying to sell anything but FREE. You'll get hung up on. Run out of office. Cursed at. And occasionally
someone will take you up on your offer.
When you're a tech, you don't walk thru their door unannounced and the machine is predictable after you've worked on enough of them. People are unpredictable and that's who salespeople have to deal with...perfect strangers.
