Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brenda has 17 years of experience in sales and related fields. Her skills are in customer service, sales, account management, and inventory management. Location is Baltimore, Maryland, which is a mid-sized city. Industry is not specified, but sales professionals in the US can charge a wide range of rates based on experience, skills, and location. For a sales professional with 17 years of experience, especially in a mid-sized city, a rate of $25–$50 per hour is reasonable. Considering her skills and experience, I’ll estimate around $45 per hour.
