Always difficult this one. Some say high basics with nominal bonuses,
others are pro the commission only route (a dying breed thankfully).
Personally I believe in paying a reasonable basic but incentivised with high commission.
It seems to do the trick.
As to what your basic should be I would need to know a lot more about what you do to advise.
Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Roger,
My feelings are that the salary should be enough to keep your employee's creditors from taking his house, but if he wants a new car he'll have to sell strong.

In the beginning of training for about a month there should be a salary,then commission only with high commissions for top performance.The best salespeople I know will only work on commission.Those that are comfotable with a salary,are usually comfortable.
