Well this will be a tough life at this salary. Your accommodation will be probably on shared basis, so your privacy is limited. AED 3,000 is ok for your food etc. Hardly any decent savings. Of course there are thousands here who rough it out on such salaries or even lower. For a Sales person they should pay you more.

i think it depends where your home country is and what your spending patterns are like. I can imagine that if you save even aed 1k per month, it would go a long way in some countries. If your accommodation is paid, there are certainly very cheap options to eat - in sales, I'm hoping that you get some sort of commission on top of this as an incentive?
