We utilize what we call the, “Craigslist Test” to determine whether we are successful: graduates should be able to go on to Craigslist, choose and acquire a commission-only position, and be successful at it.
Commission-only sales people are among the highest paid employees; they also have the most freedom. Sales is a skill that is taught; no one is born a salesperson. Stable and meaningful employment results from being a professional salesperson because virtually every business needs salespeople.
