One of the most ridiculous things in business today, and nobody can change my mind about this, is commissiononly salespeople. What a ridiculous idea. What a selfish idea from the perspective of the employer. Let's say a person lives in an absolute not nice place. He's paying $1,000 a month. Now, he has to eat. He's paying $1,000 a month. He has to have life insurance. He has to get to work. He has to drive a car. He needs internet. He needs all these things. A person needs a minimum. And this is a single person needs $3,000 a month just to live, just to survive. And to say to that person that you have to be commission only. How are they supposed to live for 2 or 3 months? They're literally supposed to starve and sleep on the street and then come in and perform and do a good job at the office Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. Like, how does that even work? In order for a salesperson to be successful, they need to have a base salary. Something that ties them over, something that actually makes sure that they can live, that they could survive. I have all these people reaching out to me. Could you find me commission sales people? No, I cannot and I will not. I'm against it. I think that it's something that is it's immoral. It's not even respectful to the people that are working for you. Why should they starve while you eat? Pay your people. Pay your salespeople properly and you're going to get quality salespeople. Don't try to go cheap and expect everybody else to starve. Otherwise, let them just open up their own business. Why should they work for you anyways?
