Commission-Based Roles: Experiences and Insights

·Jan 12, 2026 01:11 PM·

Question about Commission-based SDRs I am curious if you have done solely commision-based roles (PT or FT). Would you do it only if you had contacts knowledge in a specific area Ii.e., sector, application, geography) What kept you going or why did you stop?

It really depends on the ticket size, traction in the industry, and the industry itself. Having contacts is helpful, but for me it's not really the contacts only. I'd rather understand how much I'm going to make and of course how much I'm going to need to learn. Whenever I took on such a venture (which I did a couple of times), I try to find similar industries or where I have a knowledge base already of the personas, their problems, and the lingo.

There needs to be a proven motion otherwise it's a lot of investment for the sales rep and little to no return or it needs to be big ticket sales
