Sorry, but I don't think that it works that way. If I were to put in my two weeks notice right now, I would be escorted from the building immediately and they wouldn't have to pay me, especially if they knew that I had signed on with a competitor. Most sales organizations work the same way, and I'm considered an "at will" employee meaning that I'm here because I want to be and my employer wants me to be. My contract even stipulates that if I resign, it's effective immediately regardless of my intentions, unless the employer agrees otherwise. So if I quit to take care of an ailing parent, they'd probably let me work, but if I'm going to hang my shingle outside someone else's door, I'm gone and there's probably a cease-and-desist lawsuit following closely behind me.
