Re: I wonder if...
Sorry, what? (indeed)
Do the tech/admin folks share their dosh with the saleswoman? If they sell nothing the techs&admins would be looking for another job now. Should the CEO or owner also share profits - or losses - with the crew?
Getting into sales is easy and doesn't require a degree of any kind. Getting into the lucrative sales require a history of success in sales. There are plenty of sales jobs available and if you're good you can make a lot more you can as a tech. (as evidenced by the Oracle rep)
Selling is not easy and I have seen many try - and fail to sell practically anything even if the products should be selling themselves. Some people have 'it' and can persuade eskimos to buy freezers, and those should be rewarded properly with the agreed commission, unlike what Oracle did here.
