Hi guys
I am trying to recruit some drupalers. where my sales team goes find business and the drupaler take care of the tech part.
everybody will be paid on a commission basis example 25% of the sale to the sales guys (off course bonuses for big contract)
right now I am trying to figure out the commission that is appropriate to pay to a drupaler.
how much percentage will you take ? assuming:
***the sales team will work to bring more and more business (you only have to focus on what you love)
***some project can be small or big but on average they ll be around $900 and up
***many client will ask for upgrading their website example : putting lightbox, putting ubercart etc... and ***you l get a percentage of what they pay for.
***you can have a monthly maintenance of a client site assigned to you if you like and make another money from that....
how much will take? on average
25%
30%
35%....
what about money wise.
if you know there is a sale team working to bring clients, and you just have to seat and design on average how much will you take for a project? knowing there will be repeated biz?
Please give me your sincere opinion
thanks

My experience in consulting
In my IT consulting Experience around 33-50% of the billable hours goes to the consultant delivering the product to the client, For example a project I was on two years ago was being billed at $125 and I received $50 per hour.
The best way to handle this is in Buckets of hours. A Client Buys 80 hours minimum at a time minimum.
On another Note A Friend of mine works completely off of commision in IT Sales and Banks 15% per contract flat.
In an Ideal situation 33% to the sales person 66% to the Developer nothing for the Company.
I am interested in a Company partnership, I am currently training 8 Drupal Developers. If this becomes steady I can also offer offshore rates as well to be competitive.
I can show you examples of my work upon request...
