I actually like your idea - I think tech work has a low top end, and sales a much higher end (but for other reasons). Developers are paid for the block of time. Sales people are paid a very low salary, and then can control how much they make by hustling. Developers wouldn't really be in control of how much business they bring in, so I could see it mainly working as a "bonus basis".
