"Top Sales Expert" | the answer
There is only one possible answer to this question.
We can talk over the possibilities of various different industries and commission earnings. Such as sellign planes or huge dam installations or massive construction but (and I am sorry if this has been mentioned) the best possible way to make the most by a country mile is to earn off of others. And the best possible way to make overrides is to be at the top of the pyramid - meaning the owner.
MLM distributors can make millions, true. But people who sell others on their business dreams, to be involved in their business creations - rather than within an existing model - stand to make the most. If MLM, also known as Network Marketing, is your field then that would mean owning the company, not being a distributor.
Since I have started Network Marketing companies (plural) that I owned all and part of and have been the President of another, I can tell you that one of the issues with this style of direct sales, from the start up perspective is; if you are successful they can be crush you under the weight of their own growth, this happened to me.
Traditional businesses have a tendency to grow more linearly, not exponentially, so being buried under your own growth is not an issue. And they have just as much upside.
Look at Harvey McKay, Donal Trump, Robert Kiyosaki and others, all authors and business owners who preach learning sales and being an entrepreneur both. This is the way to the most cash. However, for some, because of where they are in life, and where they came from, this is not a realistic option. And, if that is you, likely the highest paid sales job isn't either, as the cost (hours required) is too high.
For me, there is no other option. I love what I do, I get to mentor sales people, who sell and make me money while they make their own dreams come true, and my product is teaching sales too. Greatest sales industry to be in bar none.

I know a company that divided up their territories into New Business and Existing Business. New business get low base, high commissiona and Existing base get high base ($150,000), low commission. New biz reps make about 400 and existing make about 250.

Anyone can be an order taker, it takes a rare individual to be a great B2B sales person. And great people want to be paid based on their efforts, so, yes, they want and receive commissions.
The issue is - few people are willing to go out and generate new business, it is perceived as harder because of rejection rates. And because of this perception we can earn more than the President ... incredible is it not?
