I chuckle at those ridiculing a 1k base salary. A base salary is just a guaranteed fixed amount. With performance incentives, such as profit sharing, ambitious people could make an extremely comfortable living with the right company / product -- and they are qualified with split testing, conversion and demographic analysis, etc.

Ask any "real" salesperson if they'd want a fixed salary or one based on commissions. The truly motivated, ambitious ones will almost certainly want the commission based sales revenues as then the sky is the limit and they effectively write their own checks.

Good luck finding the right candidate.
