Would being self employed in commission sales actually count as sales experience?

Question by Hollywood Jono: Would being self employed in commission sales actually count as sales experience?
If you ran one of those home based businesses that relies on selling products/services in exchange for commissions for several years and then the company went bust forcing you to return to traditional work. Could you list this on your resume in an attempt to get a sales/customer service job? Or would this experience simply not count due to the fact that you worked for yourself and weren’t really accountable to anyone else?

Best answer:
