As a Real Estate Agent, you work on 100% commission. Are you confident in your sales skills?
A successful real estate professional must be confident in their sales skills since most roles are 100% commission based. Assure the interviewer that you are capable of earning a great living based solely on your sales abilities.
"I have been successful in Real Estate for many years, working on a highly commissioned basis. Of course, my first few years were difficult, but I managed to press through those challenging years. I am a solid salesperson and well sought out because of my positive reputation in the industry. This success amounts to many referrals for me as well."
"Yes, I am confident in my sales skills and ability to earn a good living on a 100% commission basis. This position will not be my first commission-driven role, which also adds to my confidence. In my last position, I was able to earn in the low six figures on the same pay structure."
Remember to reference your experience working in sales roles, even if they were not related to real estate or commission-based. Demonstration of experience and success lets the interviewer know you understand the likely ups and downs that occur within these types of positions.
