Brand Manager: The new position of Brand Manager will have an annual salary of $90,000.
According to the provided Branch Manager Position Document (Dunston, 2020), the position
requires:
Bachelor’s degree in information systems, computer science, marketing, business, or a
related field with coursework in information technology/systems 5+ years’ product marketing management experience in a software development
technology-driven company
3+ years’ knowledge and experience in a marketing leadership role
The selected candidate will oversee all market research and promotional activities and will
conduct sales meeting while encouraging round table ideas from staff. I can justify the Branch
Manager starting salary based on information taken the provided Market Rewards Survey, where
the description of the Advertising and Promotions Manager is comparable to the duties and
tasked required of a Branch Manager. The median salary for the Advertising and Promotions
Manager is $90,100 (Dunston, 2020). Thus, it is reasonable that the new position of Branch
Manager should be in the same range, especially given the cost of living in a state like
California. My goal was to stay in the market median to remain competitive while still
considering that company is still growing therefore, it was important not to offer the position
salary at top of market. Product Sales Representative Positions 1 and 2: We have created two Product Sales
Representative positions that start at $65,000 a year. According to, The Product Sales
Representative position provided handout (2020), the position requires:
•Bachelor’s degree in business management or business administration
•3+ years’ product sales experience
•1+ years’ sales management experience
•Working knowledge of MS Office and associated applications required
•Ability to travel up to 50% of the year.
The Product Sales Representative’s primary role is to grow and secure existing and new business
relationships, manage sales accounts, and contribute to ideas that will increase revenue. I
purposefully did not create one of the positions as a step above the other. The reasoning is that
with any sales position there is usually a structure of bonuses. With both positions on a level
playing field, simple competition will push them both to strive for more sales which is a win-win
for all parties. The job description of Product Sales Representative is one step above the Sales
Representative whose annual salary starts at $63,390, according to the Market Rewards Survey
Handout (2020). The starting salary of $65,000 annually creates a cost of living wage for a state
like California.
