Five Extremely Powerful Reasons Why A Commissioned Only Sales Force Truly Rocks!
Entrepreneur have you (or anybody) you know and respect ever worked solely on a commission only basis? In other words, you are paid and or compensated in direct proportion to what you produce! How’s that for incentive?
Could your current lifestyle be maintained (and or) significantly enhanced were you to suddenly switch over to a commissioned only compensation payment plan of some kind?
Most non entrepreneurial types are deathly afraid of this type of payment arrangement! Wonder why? In any event while some may scoff at the exceedingly high compensation rates that your truly elite (commissioned only) sales reps earn!
One things definitely for sure! They aren’t wasting any time with the trivialities of the day, are they? No way! They simply can’t afford to! But the flip side to the coin is this. These elite men & women that somehow convince people to consistently say “yes” can (at times!) be quite demanding!
And if you’re not careful, have you at their mercy because they are (let’s face it) the life’s blood from an internal business stand point! They consistently drive sales which (in case you forgot) is what generates revenue!
But what if there was a proven way for (you and I) to employ some top flight commissioned only sales reps, that simply that had no interest whatsoever in trying to take over your company and or hold you hostage to their ever growing demands and egos! Huh?
And believe it or not, you’ve never ever have to worry about them threatening to leave you to go work for your fiercest competitor! How cool would that be?
So Where In The Are You Suppose To Find An Army Of Totally Dedicated Commissioned Only Sales Reps That Won’t Eventually Try And Hold Your Business Hostage?
Entrepreneur, first of all, you’ve been reading this blog long enough to know, that’s it’s always simply a matter of perspective right? Which means, the commissioned only sales reps that I’m referring to here isn’t an actual elite, high powered sales force in the conventional sense! Huh?
No, I’m referring to every piece of on or offline marketing content that you’ve ever (and or have yet) to create! Say what? That’s correct! Think about it for a second. To date, I’ve created 1,020 published blog posts (right here!) and counting! And (to date) 427 youtube videos!
That constitutes 90% of my online commissioned only sales force! They work for me tirelessly 24/7! But checkout these five really cool benefits they provide vs actual elite commissioned only sales reps!
(Note: Now let’s be brutally honest and totally realistic here! There is simply no way these inanimate pieces of content, no matter how well put together, can ever replace super elite commissioned only sales reps in the real world! But, they can and will do things that the top elite sales reps of the world would never ever dream of doing voluntarily!)
1.) Really big benefit # one: Under no circumstances is your or my content ever going to take rejection personally! Meaning: if (or more like!) when a visitor gets partially through a post or video and suddenly decides to simply leave without finishing it!
Oh well! Guess what? That blog post and or video stays focused on the job at hand! It doesn’t stop to check email and or Facebook and or twitter updates etc! No wasted time there! They just remain steadfast!
2.) Really big benefit # two: Also, they never ever use sick days (and or vacation) as an excuse not to show up and do what they were created to do!
3.) Really big benefit # three: They never demand higher and higher compensation rates! That’s huge! They gladly work and are 100% committed to you, until you decide otherwise and delete them!
Obviously in the case of youtube, and or any other video sharing platforms, your account could be unexpectedly shutdown! But barring that you’re good to go!)
These Commissioned Only Sales Reps Aren’t Ever Going On Strike And Or Threatening To Quit If Their Demands Aren’t Met!
4.) Really big benefit # four: They never ever demand higher and higher compensation rates! Unlike the top affiliate marketers online! As they start to produce more coin for the vendors products and service that they market. Guess what?
They start demanding and expecting a higher affiliate compensation rate! And rightfully so! But not your crew! Nope! As they climb the search engines, because of more and more social shares!
They never send you an email or text, demanding a bigger compensation percentage or else!
5.) Really big benefit # five: and finally.. They never demand stock options and or a percentage of your company! In fact, they’re not ever going to threaten to go on strike if their totally unrealistic demands aren’t met or quit and go start their own deal and compete head to head against you!
After they’ve convinced some of your key sales reps to go with them! So you see, even though there’s simply no way they can effectively compete with these real world elite commissioned only sales reps in the real world!
They still offer tons of amazing benefits that the real world sales reps don’t! Would you not agree? Before you go, please be sure and watch the extremely “funny” parody video that’s a take off of the courtroom showdown between Superstar actors “Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson” in “A Few Good Men!”

Hi Mark,
You make some excellent points that are really worthy of consideration.
But I’m wondering, are you really talking more about marketing than sales?
The reason I ask is that commissioned sales people are actually responsible to close the deal, get the cash, and assist in transitioning to either a production process for a service or delivery of a product.
People who share are awesome content are actually helping us in the marketing. Are they responsible to close a sale or get money for us?
Not in the traditional sense for sure. But what they do for us is take our highly valuable content that we created and has given someone a reason to buy from us; and allowed another person to share it with their audience. That to me is marketing, not sales.
I’m not sure if you agree and if not I’m really good with that!!!
I think the point I took away that is powerful is that we ought to be giving reason for people to both buy from us and share that people they know ought to buy from us as well after they have consumed the content that gives them a reason to do that.
If I missed the point, please let me know because I’m way open and would love to continue the discussion. I think you’re really onto something here!!!!
Looking forward to more dialogue!

Not at all Don!
What you’re sharing here is totally spot on! I’m merely
contrasting a post you may write and the fact that because it’s not an actual person, you and I
(thank goodness!!) will never ever have to deal with all the extremely critical issues and
concerns that you’re raising!
Because our extremely valuable content is merely an asset, not a person! So it won’t demand anything of us
ever!
Unlike an elite sales rep and or super affiliate might eventually do! It will just perform , no strings attached!LOL!
But a top sales rep sooner or later, because of all the reasons you mentioned, will at some point
start to feel they are entitled to more something or another!
And that’s why and how our content can compensate us many times over! Just like a super affiliate and or
elite sales rep can, but without all of the strings attached!
That’s the real contrast I was making! But hey, thanks for all of the fabulous additional material!
Because now I can add yet another keen perspective to the series!
You are SO right Mark. I’ve worked in sales most of my life and only the best in their field are up for the challenge of working a commission only gig. I would have gladly done it but my (then) husband would have croaked. Hummm. Oh, anyway, it was pretty easy to be confident when I averaged 200%+ of my goals, but I’ll be the first to attribute my success to my passion for what I represented – Hawaii, the host culture and Aloha spirit. 🙂
That’s an awesome average M!
Just think, if they had an entire army of sales reps like you, they could
probably cornered the market!LOl!
Yea, most employee minded types couldn’t possibly stomach 100%
commissioned only payment compensation.
And I must say, if you’re gonna decide to go that route, you’d better have
more than passion going for you!LOl!
Thank as always for stopping by and sharing your extremely valuable insights M!
Both that and your continuous support is always greatly appreciated!
BTW, here’s the link for other article I mentioned on your blog, M I just have to
have your feedback on it! https://www.youcanmarketonlinenow.com/insecure-seventh-grader-help-define-successful/
Please let me know what your take on it is! Thanks!!
Hi Mark,
You bring out a great point here! Everything we do on line is commission. There can be an old Youtube video someone searches, then comes to our blog, opts into our offer. You just never know!
All the work we put into our business here online does pan out in the end process. We, as bloggers and marketers are continuously giving value to others. As we do, people stumble upon us and boom become a loyal follower and/or customer.
We can do a marketing campaign to people that don’t know us, but it is so easy to Google us, come to our blogs for social proof, see our videos, etc.
That’s the selling point..our value we give.
By the way, thanks for that video…it was a hoot!
-Donna
You’re welcome!
Wasn’t that video a blast? Too funny and very creative! And I really love your point BTW, and
I will be sure and give you credit for in part two!LOL!
Where you mentioned, that even though we may have created a video or blog post who knows when, and it
may cause a brand new visitor to not only head over to our blog and opt into our list,
but they social share it for additional social proof and free exposure as well!
And who knows over time what that type of continuous activity could potentially
be worth!Thanks for sharing such an excellent point that I hadn’t even thought of and or even considered!
As always thanks so much sharing your extremely valuable insights and for your continuous support!
Both are greatly appreciated!
