2. Commission
You could be part of a team which sells double glazing
The more you sell the more you will earn.
If you sell double glazing worth $12,000 you may be paid a commission of 7%
Your commission would be 7 ÷ 100 x = $840
If you sell a lot of windows that’s great but there are always times when it is hard to find a sale.
If you choose a sales job it is always better to go for one where they pay you a BASIC wage plus commission on what you do sell
