I read the large format proposal you posted the other day, went into our system and configured the machine (a W2400, I believe) exactly as your example. I was astonished to see that the quote was 32% below standard commission cost. Up to that point, I was having a hard time believing the rants on this list but I see your points now.
I don't understand standard commission cost. Does that mean you automatically get paid commission if you sell at a certain price to your end user? What about getting paid on GP - gross profit?
SO, if that is correct, then, who benefits from the 32% below "standard commission cost"? Do you still have some built-in compensation from this type of transaction?
I have to ask because I have only worked for my company and I, like Art, can only assume and extrapolate what pay structures must be like elsewhere.
