My mate runs a growing but successful stage and dance floor rental service, does festivals and wedding LED floors etc.

Just asked me if I know anyone who wants a job as a sales rep.

5% commission, last job he did was £18k.
Has done stuff for bastille, fratellis, toploader, example, funeral for a friend etc

Laptop and phone inc.
Retainer and expenses negotiable.

Thought someone out there may fancy it? Can hook them together.

Nice thought, but I would think most people are interested in the base pay nowadays as most costs are fixed, I know its sales but I thought the days of low weekly/ monthly pay topped up with commission was a thing of the past now?

There's the problem, that's girls for you 😉
Seriously in sales you live & die by the sword, you have to prove your worth, but then it doesn't mean your worthless when things are slow, unless commission is a lot more than 5%.

Monthly pay is deducted from the commission is a possibility. You get a definite monthly wage which is crap but as long as you make the sales you commission covers it.

Where's he based? I know a guy who used to work in the wedding industry and now does pharma-sales which he hates. This sounds right up his street but he's pretty well paid in the current position so it'd have to be tempting...
