commission 100%, give him 2 months of the jobs he brings in

I worked as a storefront window cleaning sales representatives. Big company. Nation wide. Three months of what ever they were charged. Ten percent on residential and commercial work.

PS
On second thought I think it was only one month.

He wants to be invested in the business and possibly have this be his future career. He knows I don't have Capitol to pay premium commission. So how should I pay him? And what percentage of a Rusidual worked for you guys? Thanks!

If a guy gets payed 10% on everything he sells he's going to need about half a million dollars in sales every year, because a good salesman will expect to earn at least $50,000 a year. Can you handle that kind of growth? If he's any good that's what he'll bring in. If you can't keep up he will probably quit!

Nice Hat Ron!

We are altering our commision structure quite a bit this year. In a dream world you could have 100% commsioned sales people with no problems. But in reality it simply doesn't work long term, there needs to be some sort of base salary so they dont:

Quit on bad months
Under price accounts just to get a sale

I would always recommend a one month trial basis as well.
