    Kim, I paid a rep 15% of the (wholesale) price of all orders sold to
    the customers who she got for me. They could call me to reorder or
    ask for something a customer requested in their store, but I then
    would send my rep a copy of that invoice, and pay her 15% of it.
    This was years ago, so the percentages reps ask for may have changed,
    but it is a lot of work for just 15%, so I can't see the percentage
    going down to 10. You have to build it in to your price, but it
    really should already be there, since the alternatives (retail shows,
    open studios, websites, etc.) all cost you money, too. Not to mention
    the cost of having your own store!
