Do you have a sales staff?

[drlew]

We are considering adding a sales person to our staff. How does your compensation work, straight salary, commission, or both?

hey drlew, welcome to the forum, to answer your question, here in the Uk we pay salary plus commission (1% on sales, not including tax).

But it does depend on the candidate, some want high salary/low commission other are more financially motivated and so prefer lower salary but the chance to earn more with higher commission rates (we used to pay 4% to our previous sales girl).
