## Caption

A lot of small business owners are frustrated hiring salespeople for one simple reason:

They’re picturing an “A-player”… while offering an opportunity built for someone else.

In commission-based sales especially, the first hard reality is this: **your compensation plan (plus a few key factors) dictates the caliber of candidate you can attract.**

If reps can’t earn real money for the first 90 days, there’s no base, limited security, and no reliable lead flow… you’re not recruiting from the same talent pool as companies offering stability + upside from day one.

That’s not “bad.” It just needs to be **honest and aligned**.

You can absolutely build a killer commission-based team — but you have to:

1. design comp + ramp pay for recruiting *and* retention
2. recruit for the right profile, then develop them into A-players

Where do you think most SMBs overestimate their sales hiring leverage?
