Commission based, vs. salaried, reps. This is pretty easy to understand if your perception is that CRM will, at best, inhibit your selling. You simply do not know what you have in your pipeline let alone if that number is enough to meet your goals and needs. These are selling fundamentals. Lack of awareness.

I’m one of those people who are keenly aware that there is selling time , when you see customers and prospects, and non-selling time , before and after work when you can do paperwork.

I did that, knocking on the doors of Los Angeles businesses while selling commercial grade calculating equipment. I wanted to sell and I wanted to do so as an independent contractor on a commission only basis.

During my training, I received a whopping $150 per week plus a very small percentage of commission. As a senior rep I would be working on a straight 20% commission basis. I had never actually spoken to these folks but he and I would be meeting with them Monday morning. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

This meant that, while I would be associated with only one firm, I was going to work on a straight commission basis. I told the company president that the deal would be … “Pay me if I sell something. As it turned out, one of the best selling points of the group was that it was not member-run. No benefits. I would do it all.

One of the first what How to Hire a Great VP of Sales at the New York Enterprise Tech Meet-Up (thank you to John Lehr and Work-Bench for setting this up). I did sell EchoSign to Adobe.
