When I was still in college one of the many jobs I held was a door to door sales gig for an exterior home remodeling company. Initially it was promised that any appointment I set I received X amount of money, I think it was like 10 bucks. So on a daily basis if I set 3 the money doubled for all prior and future appointments that day. I was setting appointments for a “closer”. Seemed like an alright deal and I tried to only set appointments with legit customers. I set a ton of appointments and did pretty well. End of the week comes and I’m shocked at my tiny paycheck. They then explain “well you only get that money if the closer is able to make the sale”. I was planning on quiting anyway because door knocking is horrible but that really sealed it for me.
