Compensation for a sales job

People like myself who are good at what they do but really sucks at sales and also don't have ton of money to spend pre-revenue.

So Is it common for a sales person to make partnership without any base salary as a part-time thing?

Are you looking for commission-only sales reps that work a few hours a week?

Yes

That’s typical—but why not learn to sell and save the cash?

Bro I respect your advice. I am good at closingbut its really time consuming. I think getting appointments and following up with leads needs a steady mindset and patience.

The fastest way to learn what your customers want is to run the sales cycle. That said, could run a flex program for appointments, but beware finding SDRs that understand agency.

I think he's looking to hire, if I'm reading correctly, and wants to know if hiring commission-only is common.

Definitely is a thing but be prepared to lose out on a decent % of revenue per client if your sellers don't make money any other way

Muhammad, may I call you Mu? You have a product you clearly believe in. Let's analogize that with really good food in a really good restaurant. It's your biggest asset. Now all you need is to become a really good waiter. Listen as you're taking that order. Deliver it quickly. Check back to make sure your diners are happy with their order. Then, when you know they're thrilled, look them in the eye and emphatically suggest a dessert. Your average check will go up. So will your tips.

Self-belief will set you free. Try it yourself first. Figure it out. Make it work. How else will you ever train anyone?
