Sales commission---what is reasonable???
nickdylan:
My question is somewhat confusing, please bear with me. I brought a unique idea to a large med billing company (60+ billers) and we are entering into contract where I will have exclusivity for all marketing/sales of this "niche" service I propose to prospective clients. Is there a "industry rate" to expect, or any formula to calculate which I could use as a baseline? The companies billing from this venture alone will be between $90k-$250k per month out of the gate @ approx. 8%-10%. They are producing all marketing and support material. Thank you in advance!
Michele:
It sounds like you can't be very specific or you risk losing your idea, but I really can't tell what service you are asking me to give you an industry rate or baseline for. You don't mean for actual billing do you?

nickdylan:
I'm sorry for confusing you. They will be doing the actual billing @ a 8-10% service fee. I will be representing the company as a sales associate, so I will be compensated a percentage of the 8-10% that they charge for services. They professed that 2% was the "norm" for this type of arrangement. Maybe the situation is unique to you or anyone for that matter, but I thought I just check before entering into contract.
I have visited your site since June of '08, and I think you provide people a great service. I had originally planned to form my own company and build from there, however, the value of a 15 year established company, fully staffed and software systems in place, seemed like the more logic approach at the given time. Best Regards.

Marketing...hummmmmm be careful of the Anti-Kickback law.
nickdylan:
Thank you. I think Stark is more a worry than Anti Kickback, but not in this case. Termed contract, stated fee structure, etc., presented to all parties in advance covers most of the problems the way I understand it. In addition, I will be employed by the billing firm. Best.
