Did you intend to have a 50/50 option in there? That's most common for sure...

That sounds stable, but what about the targets? How does that model work?

Last two companies (media) that I have been with are structured with a salary for a year then 100% commission. One was a national company, second was under 100 people.ย

Mine is around 30/70. Base has remained pretty similar but commission portion/OTE has grown over the yearsย

I used to work at an office with one of these contraptions. Itโ€™s basically a tabletop mounted to a treadmill.
