Okay, let’s tackle this. So Aaron Blank has a broad skill set that includes business development, sales management, and product development. He also has experience in sales operations, negotiation, and strategic planning. Location is Charlotte, NC, which is a major financial hub. Sales professionals with his level of experience and skill set can command higher rates. On average, sales managers and business development professionals in the US can earn between $100-$250 per hour. However, considering his expertise in multiple areas, I'll estimate his rate to be on the higher end of that range, around $150 per hour.
