bump for sales anons

My dad does. He's an emotions on the sleeve kind of guy so he takes it hard when there's ups and downs in his job. It's a job that you can make money if you out the effort in.

Lot of socialization and smalltalk though. Not a robot job, you normalniggerfag.

I'm the owner of my business and I will need to be hiring one soon as I can't do it alone and I am pretty medicore at it.

My background is in construction estimating which basically behind a screen pricing construction drawings for 10 hours a day.

If you might know the answers to these I'd appreciate them.

>What is his base pay and his commissions percentage on the profit of the sale?

>Does he have a car or is he reimbursed with fuel?

>What is his sales targets compared to his salary? For example, if he has a $60k base does he need to earn $120k profit for the company before he starts to receive commission?
>Does he have to find his own clients as well as close the deals? Or does his workplace give him the clients to close deals?

Pretty much I am unsure of what support I need to give my salesman and how it's best to pay him.

In my head I thought I would pay him a competitive basepay and once he hits his own cost of employment I start giving him a commission %.

He sells software and its mostly skype with webdemos. They do reimburse travel and pay for phone.
60k salary plus 10% commission, he has lots of exp.

I don't want to give out too much info but the company participates in industry events and also get a decent amount of customer generated leads.

It really fluctuates but he can earn his salary for the company in a few months or less
