Thank you Tyler for your talk (and also to Michael, Qasar and Dalton), your talk is probably the best one I've seen during these 19 lectures.

I've a question for you (and to any other company which has sales reps), how do you pay sales agents? I'm reading a lot on that subject, and I still cannot figure out what would be the average commission to pay to sales agents in a SaaS/tech company world, would it be 10%? 20%? 30%? Based on every payment (ie. recurring) the customer does, or just on the first one? With or without a base salary and caps?

I'd love to know how you figured it out and maybe some numbers

Thank you!
