The other half is persuading your target to...

    Commission starts at an "industry" standard of 25% climbing up to 35% as total sales amount increases. Average sale depends on the salesperson, but as a team I would say we're at about $150-$175.

    Good questions. Overhead is relatively low considering its a small location. Lease of space, POS system, phone line and merchant processing.

    Hi! Yes, all 3. I would say that it's not difficult at all.
