commission-based sales

Percentage-driven selling work

Commission-based sales is a compensation structure where salespeople earn money based on what they sell rather than receiving a fixed salary.

The commission is typically a percentage of the sale price: She preferred commission-based sales because her income had no ceiling.

The model incentivizes aggressive selling but offers less financial stability than salaried positions.
