Can I ask what are you skilled in selling? Is it products? Services? Both?

I feel for you on the commission thing. I worked at a newpaper where no matter what we sold, we were the scum of the earth to either the management (because we took home so much money) or the clerical staff (because we took home so much money.) So they decided to change things around a bit. I went from about 2000+ per month in commissions to about 250 in commissions. How's that for a thank you and kick in the butt?!?!? I left and took a couple of bad turns but think I may have found the right place for me if they call me back for the interview I'm expecting.

My problem is that I feel that I have devalued myself by changing jobs often in the past 14 years. I have an excellent reason for every change, inlcuding companies selling, going bankrupt, and changing commission packages to favor lower paid, younger reps, resulting in my sales increasing and my income going down! Still doesn't look good to have 7 postions in 14 years. My comeback is that I have a lot of knowledge about a lot of businesses, and that I am an excellent sales rep and business manager. I have done well at every position. I have not done well financially in the past three years, but all due to the market collapse in construction in the Bay Ares. I have great customers who buy everything they can from me.
