Try to find a place that actually teaches commission sales. As in once hired they send you out somewhere for two weeks or more of training.

The skills they teach have been very helpful in getting better pay than co-workers and early promotions. You may have to apply the skills for a few weeks or months with actual customers. The deep end is car sales. 12hr days and the bottom sales person gets fired.

Second option would be trying to find somewhere that will apply for you to get a security clearance. High job security and a good bonus pay on top versus without it.
