Well, if you can believe it, the high salaries are still a discount compared to the numbers that they should be getting AND they are still pressured to close just as much as they would if on commission.

Eg if a TW salesperson HAS to sell $20MM of work within that year but only gets paid $300k/year (I doubt it's that high, but maybe), they are still underpaid because most places would at least give them a few percentage points of the margin, i.e. their entire TW salary...

Then what is the value of being uncommissioned, except for virtue-signalling?

But yes, 300K is a discount lol

According to those I asked on the matter, it was to mitigate selling 'bad' work. Which didn't really go away.
