Ok so I am noticing my sales staff is getting more and more lazy as time goes on. Clearly they are not happy with their hourly wage. So I need help converting my shop into commisioned based sales/installs instead of hourly based. I want to know what pay you think is reasonable to factor into my final decision.

We do

Autostart/Astrostart/Compustar/Viper/avital/python and ultrastarts by special order

We also do Parrot Bluetooth car kits

Heated seats

ect... What are you paying your installers and what do you think is "fair" pay for the above sale/install?

ATTENTION MODS: I assumed I should put this in the car security forum because it is mainly asking about car security questions. However if you feel that the employment section is better, you can move it...

Our company does it several ways depending on the area they work. Clearly the hourly or salary workers go much slower. I think the best pay is mine, which is a cross of a daily salary and commission. This way, even if it's a very slow day you make something yet motivates enough to get performance when it's busy.
