There are roofing sales reps pulling in $150K, $250K, even $300K+ a year… who still feel broke. Not "I can't afford anything" broke—but "where did all my money go?" broke. That's the uncomfortable truth nobody talks about in high-income sales:

"You don't have an income problem. You have a pay structure problem." I remember telling that to a sales rep I was coaching who'd just had his best quarter ever — and was somehow still stressed about money. Sound familiar? Most sales reps get paid
