I guess it would be helpful if I did tell you what industry I'm in. I sell large medical devices with prices from $20k on up to $1.5M. The sales cycle is long, about 5 years, so I'm constantly prospecting. I'm both the farmer and hunter. This new job will have a much lower quota but the profit margins are higher. The products range from $15k to about $100k tops. The geography will be larger, more potential customers, most of whom I have not met so there's no relationship yet. This is purely a hunter position.

Both jobs include a decent base pay but an aggressive commission plan. It's about a 40/60 mix of base/commission. When I hit it out of the ball park, it's more like 30/70. I've achieved that many times and twice I won a trip to paradise. The potential for higher compensation is better with the new job but so is the potential to make less. What's the saying? "Sales is the easiest, lowest paying job and the hardest, highest paying job. There is no ceiling and often, there is no floor".
