Sales commission advice needed... NEW SUBFORUM SETUP FOR THIS!
OK background: I just started a new business that is taking off in Austin and is launching next week in Dublin and Belfast. I plan to expand to other cities but will need salespeople and am wondering what a fair compensation is.
The job is quite easy, it is a service that is sold to a bar, restaurant, or similar venue... the service is very cheap (~$100/month) and is currently being VERY well received (i.e. selling itself, at the least a very easy sell). Based on the above... what is a fair commission per sale? I plan for each sale to CONTINUAL pay out to the salesperson as long as they remain a customer... this encourages the salesperson to maintain the relationship and gives them a nice residual income should they decide to move on at some point. My gut tells me the proper price point is between $15-$30, which works out to $1500-$3000/month in CONTINUOUS income once they have sold 100 clients (the LOW, LOW, LOW estimate for any given region). The more realistic estimate is in the range of 200-250.. so to play it safe.. they SHOULD be able to build a client base to 200 and earn between $3k-$6k /month OK! Now ..what is the EXACT figure that seems the most FAIR and will be able to attract competent salespeople without being exorbitant? Poll to follow |
