The Copier Careers® 2018 Sales Manager Salary Survey results are now available! This year’s survey reflects the responses of 1,489 Copier Channel sales management professionals across the United States. Copier Careers uses these annual surveys to provide a year-by-year snapshot of how well industry professionals are compensated, how satisfied they are in their careers and how closely their needs are aligning with the needs of their employers.
