Dennis: I just got a new sales job
and I’m going to be making a
bundle.
Irene: What kind of job is it?
Dennis: I’ll be working strictly on
commission. The more I sell, the more I
earn. It’s a great opportunity for someone
with my talents in sales.
Irene: I know you’re great at sales and I’m
sure you’ll do well, but you can’t
coast in a job based on
commissions. You’ll have to work really, really
hard.
Dennis: I’m not worried. For me, selling is
second nature. I’ll barely have to
lift a finger and the profits will
come rolling in.
Irene: But isn’t your paycheck going
to be in flux all the time? You’ll
never know what your take-home
pay will be.
Dennis: There’s no cap on how
much I can earn, so the sky’s the
limit.
Irene: That’s not exactly what I meant. Some
weeks, it may be hard to live on what you
earn, don’t you think?
Dennis: What? Do I hear a hint of
uncertainty in your voice?
Irene: No, it’s just that…
Dennis: Put your mind at ease. I
could sell ice to Alaskans!
