Simple: The profit margin on the LED TV's is the higher and/or they
have more LED TV's in inventory. Also it's a bigger ticket item,
therefore more revenue for the company.


Why care about the potential bonus for the salesperson or his/her
motivation for suggesting a certain model? You should be buying the TV
you think is the best and fits your budget, not the one the
salesperson is hyping.


I absolutely agree with you. I was just curious about the "I don't work
on commission line" but yet they start you off with the most expensive
items.
