Some companies even provide commissions as high as 40-50%, but these rates are usually reserved for sales reps with specialized technical skills and knowledge.

These sales representatives often have a compensation structure that relies more heavily on commissions, meaning their base salary is lower and they earn a larger percentage of their income through sales.
