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

Yeah, it was. And I think you brought up a damn good point that those of us getting involved should band together to buy our supplies in bulk to cut the costs. The savings will be considerable.

Absolutely.

And I'd like to make a request.

I'd like my business cards in bone, with a silian rail font.

TIA

Yeah, and hopefully people aren't thinking I was joking around or am just trying to make a buck. I work at a print shop, I can get things for a considerable amount less than anyone else could.

Eh, even if you were still making a buck, it would still be cheaper for everyone involved. My wife used to be the VP of a large printing company here in town, and I know the difference in markup between what you're offering and the same service at FedEx/Kinko's.

I'm very interested, I need to figure out whether I have enough time to invest in it. Seems like if it's sales and no maintenance you could make a few bucks with an afternoon a week.

How do you guys see the presentation? Drop an email to the establishment? Cold call? Phone? Parachute into the parking lot?

That would be great. Once I see that I think I'd have a better idea of how to pitch the service.

15 years ago Budweiser used to pay me .35 cents a case--------sucked in the wintertime $350.00 a week and $900.00 a week during the summertime. I grew my area 10% for 4 years and made very good money but had no life. SO it probably depends on how much time people want to put into your product/business.

If anyone wants to see the Business Card I designed let me know.

Send me a PM, and give me your email address.

Also I'll get you pricing and also you can pick out a background image for you.

I dont think you all want the San Diego Skyline.

I have the files set up to where I can just switch out the San Diego picture w/ whatever.
