how many percentage of commission should I make as a representative in the U.S. for a foreign skin care line?

Answer 1

Before you settle on a percentage, consider other important factors such as

1. what the unit cost of the main item you would be selling
2. how many units of that item can you reasonably sell in the way you are selling (I don't know if you are setting up a kiosk in the mall, hosting make over parties, or going door to door)
3. how much time are you going to be spending on selling the item (include the time spent on advertising, party preparation, following up sales, delivering products, etc)
4. how many value add, companion items are available to you to see and how much do you think you can make from them?

Do some rough calculations and see if how much you would need to make per hour for the venture to be worthwhile, then set your percentage at a level that can generate the needed income. It can be 5% or 50% depending on what you expect to make from all your work.

Good luck!
