<prompt> Human: I am starting a new job in sales making straight commission. This is a complete career change for me as I have generally worked hourly income at mostly customer service positions. I know you can make a fairly large amount of money in sales but the numbers these reps are producing seem unreal. I was in a meeting where they talked about how much each person made that week and the top sales person made 50,000! That was only in a week!I am not saying its impossible but is that realistic? I know I wont make that off the bat and I was told that the average rep makes about 5,000 a week starting off but still. I also know that because its a 1099 that taxes are not automatically deducted something else I am not really looking forward to.Is there validity to this or should I take extra precautions before moving forward? Is there anything I should ask?EDIT: Thank you to all who have responded! I will re-post soon with more specific info that you guys suggested. The general consensus at this point seems to be stay away though. I just want to make sure that I am giving and getting the best info before moving forward! Thank you again!  <response>: If the company actually cared about you they would pay for the training and leads. RUN RUN RUN
