On: Ask HN: What commission to give a sales person for selling SaaS?

[pieterhg]

Thanks ezl. What do you consider profits though? I have no costs except for a cheap Linode VPS (and my own salary?).

[ezl → pieterhg]

For the deals I've offered, it was always sales - variable cost of sales.

I sell credit reports. So just take out the vendor cost of the reports.

I am happy to eat credit card fees, server fees, any other fixed costs for running the business, salaries etc. to test candidates if it helps me find good people.
