Salespersons in the UAE work in two environments. Some are stationed at store stalls, where they engage with visiting customers and convince them to make purchases. Others visit potential clients—including offices and individuals—to bring new business to the company. In this post, we will discuss stall and market salesperson salary in UAE.

How much does a salesperson earn in the UAE?
In the UAE, a salesperson’s earnings largely depend on how much business they bring to the company—the more you sell, the more you earn. Most companies reward salespeople when they sell products, whether in-store or outside.
Commissions from sales contribute to your income, but the amount can vary depending on the products you sell. Commissions are paid in several ways:
- Fixed Commission: For example, you earn AED 10 for each product you sell.
- Volume-Based Commission: You receive a certain percentage of the total sales you generate.
- New Business: This type of commission typically applies to salespeople in the service sector. If you bring in new business, you earn a commission, and it continues when you renew contracts.
Generally, a salesperson’s earnings are higher when their business performance is strong. Additionally, companies may provide housing allowances or accommodation, as well as communication and fuel allowances, depending on the company’s rules.
The stall and market salesperson in the UAE is classified as a skill level 4 job according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE), which categorizes various professions across the country.
