Comp rates on consulting

Margin and profit aside, if you were interviewing as an enterprise rep, what have you seen and what would you expect selling non recurring, project based services within tech consulting? In terms of % of sale to plan and accelerators.

1.5%-2.5%... Despite being paid on overall revenue the commish % is determined by the margin produced off resources.

What have you previously had? 1,2,3%? I think it does depend on the value but if consulting you'd like to imagine it would be a high rate. Com per meeting plus commission at around 2/3% p/a is nice but higher is equally as nice!

That’s a great point - I haven’t had an individual contributor target in that sort of sale specifically prior. But now I’m building it out in an established company as a leader.

Are your reps going to be paid off the burn rate or just booking deals? As a consulting sales alumni, I hope they get paid off bookings and not burn: burn sucks and having zero control over burn is even worse.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
Enterprise in SaaS, legacy hardware, hosting, services can all vary. I've seen accelerators for Enterprise reps be north of 10% in SaaS while non-existent in legacy hardware.

I know that, why is why the question was being specific around consulting and one off services.
