I have been kind of offered a type of job yet neither the boss nor I really know how to base the salary. Basically it is to help a contractor by doing sales going out meeting the clients for the first time, and helping to make sure the estimates get over there asap. This would free him up to help oversee the different jobs. An example of the problem is on Monday night he had 6 estimates from this past week that he still not sent out. This is bad for a number of reasons as we all know.

Now my background is I know them from when I did real estate, and helped get them a ton of work. I am really tight with the Contractor his partner and the crew, just from then and all around, and we are friends. Which to me means everything has to be clear cut if we are to go in to business.

And back to the topic, or problem, I have no idea how to work it out financially. I could consider a fee per estimate, but that does not sound great to me for some reason. A percentage per job, but that might be great or might be to much. I know the business is cyclical by nature that it has peeks and valleys during the year.

Anyway I think potentially I have a lot to offer there, I do know there is a lot for me to learn to do the job well.

Any thoughts on possible salary or resources where I could find out would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance for any thoughts!
