Nope on signing up. Yes on literature. but it is simply business cards and pamphlets.. if needed I guess I could pay for those and have them pick them up at officemax or wherever I have them printed.

Now for a salesperson I could see

...a 50/50 split on the setup fee +20% ($50+20%=$290/year) ~24%

OR on a 6 month deal they get $125 ($125+$125=$250/year) ~21%

OR on a 12 month deal they get $225 ($225/year) 22.5% (although it is only ~19% of the undiscounted rate)

Yeah but that is a secure 12 month deal, so its okay.

Eh hem....If you need printed supplies, let me know. Thats what I do. Office Max is a big ripoff.

Just keep it reasonable... so, when do you share the details on your li'l venture?
