I began my radio sales career with a three-month guarantee. My manager extended it an extra month because he felt I was doing everything right. After that it was straight commission.

There are lively discussions happening now at TV Sales Cafe and Radio Sales Cafe about commission structures. Straight commission? Salary plus commission? Straight salary?

How were you compensated when you started out in sales? What do you think is the best approach?
