Probably quicker to sell $10M worth of other peoples offerings at a 10% commission. If you're really good it might not take the entire year. If I was going to do $1M worth of technical work in one year I would definitely want a sales associate who could deliver on the same scale themself. OTOH, if I was going to try for $1M in technology sales over the next year, I wouldn't consider an engineering associate fully adequate unless they're coming up with offerings that are well worth that, or already has them under their belt.
