they'll have 100 more n00bs coming in on the day you leave so they don't care if you actually make it or not.

this is so important it deserves repeating. Sales is an odds game, just like poker. Sales management is also an odds game, you hire a ton of employees and throw them at the wall. Keep the ones that stick, toss the ones that don't. If you are 100% positive you will stick, then go for it. If you are not 100% positive and have no recourse if you do not, then wait a bit longer before making your move.

PS: I think Mike already knows this, I am a magazine publisher by profession. I hire cold-calling salespeople all the time; most don't make it more than 4 months. The ones that last longer are usualy keepers.
