What is fair?

[rocksolid]

So I have been selling my product for the last couple of months and things are going ok. I am only able to get into the mom and pop shops becuase most of the big guys ( Target, Home Depot, Lowes) want me to have Insurance which I don't have. I posted on Craig's list for a partner provided they have connections to get me into a larger store. I guy contacted me and said he does sales for Nestle and he calls on supermarkets for his job and works with about 100 different supermarkets. He is interested in talkiing more about partnering up with me. I'm excited but also a little freaked out since I really don't know him from a hole in the wall. If I decide to move forward and work with him what kind of deal should I work out with him? I was thinking of just offering him $1.00 for every unit we are able to sell together instead of a percentage. What do you guys think would be good?
