How much is fair?

What is a fair amount of compensation for a Sales Manager in a startup business? Salary + Commission?

Flat rate commission with salary against future earnings for slow times for a guy who's earned you good money.

Oh well there you go, increase prices to make more commission. Sounds like a winning formula.....sellin much? :laugh:

Give him your per Sq price, and if he can up sell the job, the difference is his. Give him %8 of total job.

I would let him ask for what he's "worth". Once he names a number have him prove he's worth that number by offering up results he's had at other companies. Then go from there.....
