During my training, I received a whopping $150 per week plus a very small percentage of commission. As a senior rep I would be working on a straight 20% commission basis. I had never actually spoken to these folks but he and I would be meeting with them Monday morning. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
I still remember when I was a struggling sales trainee who was about to graduate to a full straight-commissioned rep. Late that Friday, my sales manager called me and told me that one of the businesses, Golden West Billiards (this was 1977!), had called and wanted to meet with me on an accounting system on Monday. . .
If you work on straight commission … you are already dead. Focusing my efforts on finding the right people who I have the greatest chance of doing business with … my ideal client profile. . I will work smarter by developing relationships with those who are in the best position to refer me to those who will meet my criteria.
As a commission-only independent contractor, I was starting from scratch (no accounts or even leads), I needed to formulate a plan. We met for coffee, breakfast, or lunch and discussed how we might best assist each other and then we agreed to meet again and to do so regularly! I was excited to do something fun for a change!
Additionally, I wanted to work on a commission only program. Hell, I sold a $65,000 sign to another member who approached me with his project at my first meeting. At the same time, they were providing a professional service to their clients by making this recommendation. Instead, I immediately did two things. That’s what.

This meant that, while I would be associated with only one firm, I was going to work on a straight commission basis. They would never miss a meeting only to find out that they were the newly elected Secretary-Treasurer. There were some great people in the group (some are still with us), but I dreaded going to those meetings every week.
Set aside time each day to prospect – Not doing so is the most common reason behind the commission roller coaster. Then there are those deals that just don’t meet my sweet spot …. The post Sign Prospecting Tips appeared first on Adaptive BusinessServices. Squandered opportunity. How about your website?
Networking groups will generally meet for breakfast or lunch. My guess is that few will meet on Fridays and Mondays. Now, if leads groups are good for breakfast and lunch, and let’s say that those are weekly, there might be some other functions that will meet monthly during those times. Most, but not all, are weekly. Stay tuned!
I left that informational meeting with much interest but, my interest was focused on creating a group on my own that would not be tied to any national organization. As luck would have it, I met two local gals at that meeting, we struck up a friendship, and the three of us then went about and created a group.
Other businesses, such as those that provide business-to-businessservices, may schedule a meeting with clients in order to make a formal presentation. You can’t just show up at any old convention and anticipate customers to line up to meet you and exchange business cards.
My comp program was straight commission. We made all of these calls for the simple reason that it was the only way that we could determine the potential of each and every business, in our territory, to purchase our products. 30 calls yielded 6 face-to-face meetings per day. 6 meetings = 1 trial placement.
One of the first what How to Hire a Great VP of Sales at the New York Enterprise Tech Meet-Up (thank you to John Lehr and Work-Bench for setting this up). I ran their web businessservice unit which hit $180 million in ARR last quarter. As part of that, we wanted to look back at some of our most iconic content and sessions.
While I spent the majority of my career in B2B management positions, I spent my later years in commission sales, by choice. Bring something to every meeting. Identify potential power partners in the group and meet outside of the group. I have previously owned and operated for-profit professional networking groups.
