Hi everybody

    I am currently discussing options with a sales rep and wanted to get
    a little back-up information on the process. I read the archives, but
    the messages were several years old. Does the rep get a one time
    commission on the initial sale or ongoing pay? I'm wondering....if I
    get picked up by a shop in NYC, is it normal to pay the rep each time
    pieces go to the shop or just when she makes the initial sale. There
    are really no standard rates available on what to pay her for
    commission, but I was thinking 10% of wholesale on each sale. Of
    course, all terms would be included in the contract. I also have a
    slight problem with transporting everything. I don't want her
    carrying a jeweler's case anywhere (even though I make fashion
    jewelry, thieves don't know what's in the case), but here is the kind
    of thing I make

    and transporting this kind of thing safely, but tastefully is kind
    of difficult. Any input would be really appreciated.
