It depends on what the question was. If the question was, "Describe your experience in quota or commission-based sales," I would answer by sharing with the interviewer which jobs I had that in the past where I had a sales quota and/or earned commissions.
I would then go into a bit more depth on each of these roles, and describe the job itself and talk about how I performed in the role. When interviewing for sales jobs, the interviewer is likely looking for 1) whether or not you've had experience in doing so (so you should identify the jobs where you did), and 2) how you performed in that role (share your performance to plan, sales numbers, achievement).
Sales is a very performance and results-driven environment, and one of the best indicators of future performance is past behavior.
By "a commission junction," I assume that the question is asking about the company named "Commission Junction." Commission Junction is a successful marketing corporation based in Santa Barbara, California. It has many customers, including Yahoo!.
It varies based on commission percentage, skill, experience, available bonuses, product line, demographic, state, county, and city. Basically, $20k/year - $200k/year.
Without describing the symptoms and what you may have done to it, I cannot determine based on the question.

Describing how the person worked well with the other team members and motivated them to get the job done would be a good way to answer this question. The answer needs to be based on someone's own experience when answering this.
you must be more specific. You're teacher probably gave you a document based question.
That is a very open ended and very deep question. The reason I say that is because most people take a percentage of the sale and call that commission. Sales of $10,000 commission times 10% = $1000.00 commission. Nothing could be further from the truth. That is commission of gross sales..How about commission from net sales...How about a performance based commission. There are so many ways to devise a comp plan. Just make sure you know what you are actually paying in commission.
All mortgage consultants are 100% commission. Based on your experience and book of business, you can make $25k or $200k, it's up to you.

A good commission retail job would be working an electronic store on commission based pay. This is because electronics typically sell for more money. The more you help sell, the better your paycheck is.
