    I read your post a few times and pondered it, but I still have questions.

    I've never worked in sales, forgive me if these are elementary questions.

    I checked the inflation calculator, you wanted to make roughly $492,000 in today's dollars.

    And to do that you had to make 2.5 sales calls each work day.

    And I realize a "sales call" doesn't necessarily mean you phoned them, you had to travel to their facility, which can involve great distances.

    But if you could achieve that income making 2.5 sales calls a day, which seems like a pretty low standard to meet, why would they need to raise the commission?

    Again, my experience in sales is limited to four hours as a telemarketer....one hour of product familiarization, two hours observing their top salesman (training), one hour on my own...at the end of which, I was an EX-salesman.

    I wear under armor when I'm on the hill, that's gotta count for something.
