Xazy - contrats on the offer. That's great that you're managing to build on your prior experience.
If this is truly a sales position, then you can't really think in terms of "salary". You can have a draw-down salary from your total bonus which is your yearly income. For instance, if your income (however it's based) is $200,000, and you draw a $100,000 salary paid each month, you are owed a $100,000 bonus at the end of the year. That's pretty typical for the sales positions I've been in throughout my career.
As far as what it's based on, I think you need to look at what your primary responsibility is. If it is bringing new jobs to the firm, then I think you should be a percentage of the work, probably 1-5%, depending on how much it is. If you're primarily doing estimates and not responsible for closing the sale, then either a straight salary or a small salary plus a small fee per survey seems like a good idea.
Since you're creating a position here, I think that you really have a blank slate to work with. If it's true sales, then your salary is up to you! That's one of the things I love about what I do.
More information could help me provide a clearer answer.
