called TCIA yesterday, and, as incredibly helpful as Tom Dunn is, even he was kind of stumped. We are hiring our first salesman in the company and I was curious if there was an average amount of sales that one salesman could be reasonably expected to sell and service. The last data that TCIA put out in their sample sales contract information was from the mid 90s. Back then, they stated that a reasonable expectation for one sales person was around $300,000-$350,000 in sales per year. We are in a very small rural market so our margins are much less then the larger metropolitan companies are but I'm still curious what a 2017 estimate would be. Any ideas? Also, we are going to go with a salary plus commission on gross compensation plan. Any ideas on compensation?
