You are what your commission check says you are. Nothing more, nothing less. That's the way sales is graded. John Madden, NFL. You know you are what your record says you are. Like if you won four games and you lost 13, you're not that good, so you are what your commission check says you are. There's so many salespeople out there, they're like, I'm the best at sales and blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, show me your commission check. Because your commission check tells me what your sales ability is at this point. Now, that doesn't mean it can't triple, quadruple, whatever. You just have to master the right skills.
