Those people that hold signs on the street are likely making more than most of the population. I’ve talked to a few that have done it and for an all day shift of standing on the corner they can clear $100-600/day

I tried it myself on my own business and was no good even after a few months of practice, I only secured a few sales. Hired someone that was experienced in sales specifically with cold calls and some days he would secure 5 wholesale accounts in a day. He made just shy of 100k his first year in commissions. Unfortunately he was an ex drug addict which made him hard to work with and he ended up relapsing. Despite all of his shortcomings I bent the rules for him a bit because he was just so damn good at his job.
