Hire A Sales Person $10,000 – $50,000 + Commission
If you wish to hire someone, you probably are wondering if you should pay a commission or a salary.
Salary: This puts all of the risk on your business and you. There is not as much motivation for the sales person. The best sales people would not like this arrangement as they need to be incented to perform at the higher levels they are capable of.
Commission: 100% commission reduces all of your risk, but it doesn’t tie the sales person to your organization. Also, it reduces your engagement as you don’t have any skin in the game.
Salary + Commission: Having a combination of both is often the best method.
