[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3118193, member: 5412"] There is a saying out there that says there are two ways to get rich. Sales and owning a business. But it's a two handed sword. I was a purchasing agent at one time and dealt with sales folks daily. Some were in it to make a living, and some were in it to make a good living. What happened to those that wanted to make a good living, (get rich) is that their employer pretty much shut them down, and it cost both parties. For example: When I was the purchasing agent, we had a sales guy that had a hell of a pitch about rebuilding electric motors. We are talking 10 hp to 500 hp, AC and DC. drives. He was a commission sales guy and he took that small company down by the OKC stockyards into a multi-million dollar business with a million a year going to him for sales. The business owner wasn't making near that amount and he cut the commissions down to a street level sales guy. He quit, the business suffered and is still there but is back to a small local 1HP to 10 hp motor repair business with the owners salary cut in half. Sales folks can make or break. [/QUOTE]
