I was recently employed on a short contract for a local government organisation.
They have now re-approached me to see if I'd consider a position where I split my time between the council and their supplier who I worked alongside in my previous role (about 50/50). The time allocated to the supplier would be a business development role so they'd jointly pay me £24,000 plus a car plus , in their words, a "hefty" commission on any new leads I generate which result in a sale.
I haven't yet spoken to the supplier as I will probably end up getting involved in a commission negotiation conversation and I haven't a clue what I'm talking about as I've never done sales before.
What kind of commission structure/amounts would be reasonable? Their average up front sale is around £30k per customer each year and this costs them around £10k a year to service. I would expect not to bring in more than 6 or so new customers a year.
Many thanks
