I need the stability of a salary.

like

I have worked straight commission for 6+ years now and have never gone without a paycheck. It all depends on the individual. I never want to be capped on my income and know that I will be a top performer no matter what job I do.

I wish I could take the risk. Being capped is not even remotely motivating.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
