Ever sell stuff?
I did....though briefly.
It was a commission job in which you were expected to make enough in commmission to exceed your base salary. If you needed to draw? Then that money was CLAWED BACK when you next went positive.
Markup on one line of cable we sold? Maybe you've heard of MONSTER? Was gigantic. And commissions were tiny......Pure profit.
I was able to get my customers better for less....screw the commission....
Profit is what allows a company to stay in business.....at least for the Long Term. What is too much?
If markets really work, you'll know soon enough.
This is how you cut prices and employ 1$ an hour labor in China.....
Too much is never enough
