I’ve done both in similar industries. Salary plus commission, highest income was $130k. Commission only, the highest was $200k+. And guess what? Commission only sales people get more respect. Companies pretty much leave you alone. They don’t pay your salary. YOU DO!

I’m 100% commission and love it. It’s the best legal drug there is and would encourage anyone to give it at least one shot. It’s not for everyone, though.

For a fully commission job is it illegal to have mandatory meetings without compensation?

100% Commission only keeps you out of your comfort sales. It pushes you to be a good performer which will make your bank account bigger.

Two different scenarios.
1. Commission only is a very conventional method of compensation.
It doesn't work much in modern times due to high inflation rates.
And it can be offered only If a company has a established line of products with a substantial market share and brand equity, attractive business terms and policies then chances stands that products are sellable and only the process of selling has to be followed.

2. Base salary + commission : New aspirants (new companies) into the market without prior introduction of products into the market, zero market knowledge on account of no market servey, no price bench mark, no established market policy and product line for the respective markets.
In this situation a hell of work has to be done to get started. Lot of marketing and promotional activities with frequent market visits and meetings, a lot of resources are required in terms of funds & manhours.
This is right situation for companies to offer base salary + commission.
Particularly in todays economic conditions with ever rising interest rates and inflation.
Base + commission is the best fit compensation for companies looking out to appoint agents and business representative in overseas markets.
A well compensated business representative is required for overseas markets because there are lot of other things apart from merely selling is involved such as doing market survey, product promotions, appointing and setting up sound channel network, develop OEM markets as per standards, understanding and injecting adequate resources as per market matrix and economy of scale, working closely with the regulatory authorities and govt agencies to get the product standards approved, price benchmarking for specific market verticals and product segment, helping companies to align business policies as per the market requirements and norms.

A sales rep or a business rep shouldn't accept a bare commission if the company doest have a established market of is a new entrant into the market.
As the commission only will get wiped out completely on the huge expenses to establish the new product line into the new markets that may require a lot of time to get thru.
More over success or unsuccess of the products majority of the time depends upon the product itself, its quality, its market fit and also mainly the companies marketing / selling policies.
In many situations it almost take a year or a half to understands the market and find that the companies policies or product is a non fit into the market, and by that time the sales rep would heave already spent a hell on money and other resources moving around the markets and meeting prospects to lately understands that the product line in unfit or policies are non aligned.
And no other but the commission only sales rep comes out as a big looser and gets frustrated.
Hoever in this situation the company does not have any thing to loose rather the company gain from a free promotion of the products and market survey to prepare itself to reenter the markets a later stage.
So the companies should either cover the marketing and field expenses to let sales rep make his living thru his hard work in establishing the products and making the company successful in the market or pay him the base salary + commission to let him covef his expenses comfortably.
The better the sales / business rep is compensated the better the yeild with promising results.

What type of job I can find to get salary full commission based jobs

[blkeclipse]

Commision only is ok but many have strict rules on how you conduct your daily efforts. Unfortunately, this is actually a misclassification of 1099 vs w-2. Take note UBER was sued and lost a large amount for doing just that.

Let's understand the basic. Higher risk higher return. You want a salary, a company would expect a guarantee result as well to compensate for your salary and all kinds of benefits. There's no free lunch in a capitalist society

[itsrelativ]

There's no major difference. If you don't perform and get the results, then they let you go.

Do they still have 100% commission jobs ?
