or anyone in the industry of selling cell phones?
I used to work for an cell phone Dealer.

Pay/Commission worked similar to what Jgresch explained, we got paid base salary at $1600, and each new client account you sign people up for you get $40, and $25 or $30 for renewals, can't remember the exact amount.

Once you make your 1600, everything else after that goes into your pocket.

You make the most commission out of warranties and accessories (cases chargers etc)

Basically everyday you want to make calls to existing clients who are close to their renewal date to remind them to come in to renew. I don't remember the exact number here either but it was either 20 or 30 phone calls a day minimum.

If you're good you can move up to B2B sales, where all the big bucks are. But that's a lot of cold calling to large corporations to try to earn their fleet cell phone service business. But then again, each time they renew is a lot of $$$$ in your pocket.

I have a friend who works for a different retailer and their commission and base are two separate things. You get your hourly wage and commissions in groups. So for example the first step might be up to $30, second up to $100 etc etc. So if you sell $56 worth of commission then you only get $30. (Unrealistic numbers)

There's a lot of money to be made in the industry if you're good at it. People can easily make 60,000 90,000 100,000 in this industry.
I had to leave the job at the time for personal reasons.

Hope this helped.
