Paul C. – Negotiated More Money

Paul has accepted a position with XXXX. His title is National Sales Representative with a 1-year guaranteed salary- draw paid from commission. After one year he will go to full commission. They have already targeted him for a Sales Manager or Regional VP role after a year or so and he knows he has to pay his “dues” first.

They made an offer and he countered with a number and they met him halfway.  He felt this was best to do after 10 months in search and since his industry underwent a significant economic downturn. His new company is devouring all the competitors and he felt to be with them from the start might prevent him from going through a corporate reorganization later.
