Office Desks salesperson question

[Excach]

Good Day,

I own an office furniture retail business. It is principally an internet based organisation, although I am planning on opening a showroom. Whilst the web company covers office furniture sales throughout the UK, the showroom will only sell office partitioning in Essex and London.

The problem I have is that my working day is generally taken up on traveling to see new clients talking over large scale office partitioning, so I will require to employee a sales rep for the salesroom.

In the salesroom I will be marketing regular modern office desks, so it should not be too hard to sell.

The advice I am looking for is what is the average rate of commission paid for Office Desks sales rep?

Has anyone here had any experience employing sales staff. If so could someone pass me some advice of how to go around it? If you would like to share your tales please feel free.

Kind Regards,

ARTHUR
