If you are good in front of people, look good in a suit, and can articulate complex things like how software _works_ to help people, the job pays extremely well.
I'm in that line of work, and have traveled the world helping sales reps sell software and professional services. You have to know your sh*t, and be confident, but it is a great path out for a techie to further their career, build their network, and be paid what you are worth instead of salary.
