What is a reasonable sales commission for selling hvac systems?

Filed Under HVAC 

furnaceman.com asked:


For years, I have been a HVAC trainer, and troubleshooter. I now have an opportunity to do sales for a contractor and am wondering what a reasonable commission would be for selling such systems. Besides finding customers and selling the systems, I would also be doing all the heat losses and gains, system design and layouts, getting quotes from suppliers for system materials, and providing technical support during the installation.

So, the question is: What type of commission would be typical, assuming that this commission is my only income(no base salary)?
