Hire commission-only sales agents.

Uncapped is not a rate. Post the role free with the plan written down, hear someone who has already worked without a base, then reach out when you want to hire them.

Written by Sales Agent Hire. These guides are checked against the roles posted on this site.

People who live on this pay skip ads that hide the plan. You still get applications from people who cannot last a quiet month. You interview them, they ghost, and you are back on the same posting.

Leave both salary fields empty or the listing will not sit on this page. The rate, what counts as a sale, the pay date, and the refund rule belong where they can see them. Ten percent of collected revenue is a rate. Uncapped is not. If a setter shares the deal, put the split in. If a deal has to stick before they get paid, say how long. If you cannot put the plan on one screen, they cannot sell against it.

Name the work in the same posting. Closing, calling, outbound, or a full sales day. Use the matching role page if that seat has its own failure mode you also need to hire against. People who have lived on commission still apply here when the plan is written down.

Expected activity in a normal week, even though pay follows sales. They need the lead source before they say yes. A week with no sales pays nothing, so put the payment rules next to the rate.

If they have to find every lead themselves, say so. If you provide names, say how many and how warm they are. Remote commission jobs still need hours for live calls. Put the timezone in the posting.

  • Has worked without a base, or can show a recent month they were paid on commission
  • Can explain your plan back to you in plain language
  • Can handle a slow first month when the rules are written down
  • Has done the work named in the posting, not only worked this pay
  • Can tell you what they earned in a typical paid week or month

Entering an amount in either salary field means the role is not treated as commission only, even when commission is selected. If there is no salary, give a rate they can calculate, the pay date, and any conditions. Uncapped and competitive are not a plan. People who have worked this pay will skip the ad. Hear someone who has already lasted a quiet month.

Post the plan: the rate, the definition of a sale, and the pay date. Hear the voice introduction, ask someone who has worked without a base to repeat the plan back, and reach out when you want to hire them.

How do I stop hiring people who ghost in month one?

Write the rate, the sale definition, the pay date, and the refund rule. Then listen to the voice introduction and ask what they earned in a typical paid month, including a quiet one. Choose the person who can repeat the plan back.

Why do both salary fields have to be empty?

If you enter a salary, the listing is treated as a paid role with commission on top, and it will not sit on this page. Leave both fields blank when there is no base.

Can a commission only role be remote?

Yes. Write remote, hybrid, or on site, plus the country, the hours, and whether the leads are yours or they have to find them.
