Pay a salesman a base big enough to survive, and that's all he'll do. Survive.

You have to get someone who is prepared to sweat a little. Someone who is self-motivated and ready to really thrive, not survive and die.

I'm not sure how coming up first in Google for your name has any bearing on your ability to sell. If anything, it means you spend way too much time online and not enough time with people actually selling.
