Completely untrue! Try more like $130-$170K first year. 2nd year can be as low as $90K as the quota gets out of control fast. That's why 50% of new hires leave after after the first year. Same pattern holds true for RMs. The ability to reach the comp plan goal in the 2nd year and beyond is really not feasible anymore for the majority of RMs and TMs. Every territory and region has different challenges and revenue (which you are paid on) is completely outside of your control. Managed care, intake dept, billing dept, exceptions dept and negative adjustment gurus will all be out to help or break you. Hence, there is too much risk and too many things that can be beyond your control. Risk is great and you cannot control nor assure revenue recognition.
