Re: Salesman Compensation

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Commish should be before sales tax.
If you do a car allowance, make sure you have the salesman do a trip reports
for your taxes.

Salesmen drive me nuts. If you hire one and make sure you have him go out
with installers before you send him out in the field - nothing worse than
having a saleguy tell a client that you'll install a motion detector over
there...and "over there" is a concrete wall :-)
