Vorrei dei collaboratori che vendessero tanto e bene, che incassassero a 7 giorni e non a 120, e che mi portassero a casa un utile del 70%.

collect payment in 7 days and not 120
The collaboratori are presumably agents who work for the person talking. 7 day payment and a 70% profit margin are ridiculous in Italy and everywhere else. So what he's looking for is agents who collect from their clients within 7 days of receipt of goods (or sevices) and not the usual 120. That's the joke.
