Short YouTube advisory video in which the speaker argues that asking for a high salary but low commission signals low confidence in selling ability. The speaker advises negotiating for a lower base salary (or none) with a much higher commission rate and focusing on developing sales skills to increase earnings potential.
This may be controversial, but you're making a massive mistake. You're trying to get a high salary and a low commission. Now, why do I say that? Because when you go and interview with employer and you start to say, I want a higher salary but a lower commission rate, how do you think they're going to view you? They're going to view you that you are not very confident in your sales ability. Because who would want a high salary but low commissions Only somebody doesn't think they can sell that much. So always keep that in mind. What you want to do is you want to master the skill sets and try to negotiate a low salary or no salary with a massive high commission rate. You're going to make three, four times more because you don't have the ceiling. So always think about what your employer is thinking about when you're interviewing for that sales job because they might not be thinking what you're thinking. Always negotiate lower salary, high commission rate, and get the skills it takes because you can make way more money doing that.
