Offer still holds Jeremy~ looks a lot cleaner, though I still have no idea if someone could understand how much they will make doing this. I would think that to get even a moderately competent salesperson they will need to see the potential of first year income of a minimum of 40- 50k (more if benefits are not included, less if part time).

Suggestion- put the disclaimer (the part about where they lose their job if no comply) part of the first section as a header not as part of the first section.

1) Are you prepared for the possible paperwork nightmare that a pay scale like this can have?
Yes...

2) Have you already developed a system to track it and produce figures easily ?
Almost done.

3) The $100 bonus for anything over 12k, is ontop of their % of profit share.

That is why it's called a bonus...LOL

What made you decide to do profit sharing instead of ticket total. What if your profit margins are only 20-30% or even less?

Two things actually...
1)It encourages him to look for more profitable work.... The cherry accounts.
2)It controls my costs to a certain extent while preventing him from underbidding a job & expecting to be paid for it.

Jeremy, how's this working out.

I got this young man come to me this afternoon while working on the van. He was going door to door looking to book estimates for a contractor company. I asked if he is available for some part time work and said yes. Even after we talked he was still trying to book the estimate which impressed me even more.

What do I do with this guy. I'm sure he would work a few days to start out.
