I’ve worked in sales for the better part of six years now, and let me tell you, if you’ve never worked in a commission based job, that can feel like a lifetime.
It was the rush of the sale (money) for me that got me hooked, what keeps me around for so long. Also it gave me an opportunity to let my competitiveness come out again, even if it was just against myself, pushing to do better and better (more money).
Maybe the thing I liked the most was what each month brought, especially if I struggled the previous one.
