Greetings list members, I need some advise. I am selling a piano to a new customer which an employee (who also happens to give piano lessons on the side) has referred to me. What should his commission be? The employee referred this new customer through his piano lessons with her. She originally had the idea of only spending about $2,000 and this employee says that he talked up the new Walters that I carry. It seemed to me that I had her leaning toward the Walter from her very first visit not necessarily after he talked her up on them. I want to be fair to all concerned including me. Any thoughts? Is there a standard commission rate that I should be aware of? Are there 2 different rates for a full fledged salesperson or someone who simply refers another? Your thoughts, experiences will be much appreciated! Greg Newell Greg's Piano Forté www.gregspianoforte.com 216-226-3791 (office) 216-470-8634 (mobile)
