A commission only sales can be good or bad for you. It really depends on your ability to sell, the price of what your selling, and the percentage which is what commission is based on. If you are an extremely good and honest sales representative it may be a route you can take. If you have trouble selling merchandise it is not a route for you!! *If you would still be interested some jobs offer wages + commission, that might be a route you may want to take in the beginning to see how you sell! So to sum it up working based on commission only can be good but more often hurt you!
Commission only jobs, pay you based on a percentage of your total sales, either weekly or bimonthly
Commission only jobs are jobs in which the employee only gets paid if he/she makes a sale. These jobs are usually better for those more outspoken and extroverted.
It depends on what basis a sales rep is hired. If hiring only on commission basis it starts from 15% to 25% and if hiring against some basic salary then it would be 5% to 15%.
Sales commission is a variable cost because the amount of the account is subject to variation. Think about it: A used car salesman is paid a commission say of $500 for every car he sells for the month of October. If he sells only 2 cars, then the sales commission is $1000, If he sells a whopping 12 cars, then the sales commission is $6000!! Notice the variation in commission?? This is why it is a variable cost - because it is not a fixed cost, which you know regardless of what happens during the period.!

This would depend on the state you were employed in and whether the job was commission only, as many sales jobs are. Usually, commission paid work is not eligible for benefits.
The maximum percentage on commission you can get is 40%, depending on the contract agreed upon by you and your client.
This means you only get paid off the sales you brought in say if you had customers but they don't buy anything you gets nothing but if they do buy you get paid whatever the commission rate is per person .
There are different types of sales positions. You can be salary, commission, draw against commission or paid in any type of combination. If you are paid based on a commission only structure you can earn $0 - the maximum cap the company has. I've worked in sales positions where I have earned nothing and others upwards to $80,000+. The best way to pick a position that will pay you the most is to chose a product that you are knowledgeable in, believe in, and that has the greatest commission potentials.
