No base pay required - see CA LABOR CODE Sec. 1171.
The definition of outside salesperson is important (see below) - if you are not actually selling or if you spend more than half your time in non-sales related activity (e.g. delivering products) the exemption does not apply.
"Outside salesperson" means any person, 18 years of age or over, who customarily and regularly works more than half the working time away from the employer's place of business selling tangible or intangible items or obtaining orders or contracts for products, services or use of facilities
