I have a retired sales guy who I am talking to re: becoming a commissioned salesman for my business. I am trying to figure out what a typical/reasonable commission % might be and what that is based upon?
I tossed out 15%-20% just as a negotiating point and he countered that he wants 33% of each sale!
I talked to a buddy who is a used car salesman- He said they get paid "33% After Pack" which is "After the overhead". That seems more fair to me, which would take his gross% down to 10-15%, yet would be 33% of profit AFTER the Pack, or expenses.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Kapt.
