Commission-based sales: a side quest for people who like talking to business owners
- Pay: Commission
- Talk to: Small business owners
- Pace: Set your own
By Andrew Pham, CPA · Updated October 19, 2026
TL;DR
- This is a commission-based sales side quest: you earn when a client you bring in signs on.
- You introduce small business owners to Side Growth Partners' services: tax, bookkeeping and website chat.
- It suits people who enjoy conversations, follow up reliably and like being paid for results.
- You set your own pace, so it fits around a day job.
How commission sales works
In commission-only sales, you're paid a share of what you sell instead of an hourly wage. Bring in a client, earn a commission. The more good fits you find, the more you make.
- No cap on what you can earn
- You decide how much time to put in
- Results, not hours, are what count
What you'd be selling
Small business owners are busy and often behind on their books and taxes. You help them see how Side Growth Partners can take that off their plate.
- Tax preparation and planning with a CPA
- Bookkeeping that keeps them ready for tax time
- Live website chat that answers their visitors
Who this quest is for
- People who enjoy talking with business owners
- Reliable follow-up: you do what you said you'd do
- Honest selling: you'd rather say "we're not a fit" than oversell
- Anyone with a network of small business owners
Is commission-only right for you?
Commission pay rewards consistency. Some months are better than others, so it works best as a side quest next to steady income, or for people who already know a lot of business owners.
