Okay, let’s tackle this. So Johnnie Wilson has 35 years of experience in sales and marketing, which is a long time. He’s been working at Southern Eagle Distributing since 1989. The industry average for a sales and marketing director in the US is around $50–$100 per hour, but this can vary widely depending on factors like location, company size, and experience. Richmond Hill, Georgia is not a major hub for sales and marketing professionals, so rates might be lower than in larger cities. However, Johnnie’s experience and longevity with one company suggest he may be able to command a higher rate. Let’s assume an average rate for a sales and marketing director in the US, and then adjust for location. That puts us at around $75 per hour.
