There are different standards for different industries. Look up your industry and the word "commission" in your browser; you'll get an eyefull.

No. It depends on the product/service. When I sold custom-made windows and siding, the commission was 45%. In the industry I'm in now, the commission is 6%.

It primarily depends on the product's price, profit margin, and expected volume.
