I make 5x what the average employee at my company makes as a commissioned salesperson. I also return about 20x the profit that the average employee at my company makes.

I am worth much more to the company than the guy who unloads the truck, while he is also of great value to the company. They can find a hundred guys who can unload a truck. There are only a handful of guys/gals in the top ten percent of performers.

Was Steve Jobs worth so much more to Apple than the guy who worked long hours in an Apple Store? My answer? Fuck yes. More than 300x.

Look, I’m somewhat willing to grant salespeople the potential for greater pay, in part because it tends to be extra stressful, cutthroat, and failure to perform often results in failure to have a job.
