Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hello everyone, I have been approached by someone that is interested in working with me to obtain more wholesale clients. I would like to expand my business and I think this is a great way to do it. My question is: Is anyone doing this, and if so, how do you pay the sales person? Are you paying them a percentage depending on the amount of sales and the percentage becomes higher for higher sales? Or is there something totally different that I'm not looking at? I don't have a lot of play for costing since I am already giving up a large percentage due to it being wholesale. Sorry for the long email but I am looking for input, and I want to be fair to them but not loose a huge amount of money. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hi , When I worked with a wholesale rep in the past, they got 15% off the top. And if a repeat order came in from a customer that rep got for us, they got 15% of that too. Then, if they set up at a wholesale trade show (Phila or NY for instance), there was an additional charge. Its the beginning of a new year... a good time to re-adjust your pricing if need be. Remember that as you make more product, you'll be buying materials in larger quantities, so your costs will go down somewhat.
