Sales Commission

Re: [spiers] Sales Commission

As another data point, you could consult Agency Sales Magazine, the mag for
Manufacturing Agents National Association. I recently found a survey of
commissions in their Oct 2003 issue. The commish is between 5 and 11.1
percent ( "average" numbers), dependent on which part of the food and
beverage industry you are selling to, and whether you sell to end users,
OEMs, or distributors.
