The VP of Sales (Industrial) in this metro earns a median of $176,390, which is an increase of $9,030 from the previous year. The middle-band width of $116,290 indicates substantial variance in pay. Because BLS data excludes commissions, this figure is likely significantly lower than the actual total annual take-home for high-performing sales leaders in Greeley.

In Greeley, CO, the CEO / President role shows a median of $210,700. This is slightly lower than the national median of $213,990 for Chief Executives. The middle-band width is $108,020, representing a significant compensation range for executive roles. Manufacturing Headhunters reminds hiring managers that these figures rely on broad occupational codes and exclude variable pay components like stock-based compensation and performance bonuses. These figures should be treated as base salary benchmarks for executive level positions.
