I am working out a freelance opportunity in business development with a company but have no idea how compensation works for this. I previously wasn't working in biz development.
I know most have a min salary and then get a percentage of commissions for he business they bring in. But what is an average percentage? Can anyone offer some examples? Thanks.

Bump- really no one knows how a commission pyramid could be structered for sales/business development? Please tell me someone can give me a clue to commission structures.... thanks.

It depends on the company and their product. It could be as little as .25% and as high as 25% or more--or anything in between.

Ok, that's what I was thinking...and I was hoping not to give details... but let's say it's advertising sales. Does that help narrow it down or still too vast?
